Crispy Asian-Inspired Chili Wings

Air Fryer All Appetizers Asian Flavors Everiday

CRISPY, SAUCY, AND UTTERLY ADDICTIVE.

Make perfectly crispy, Asian-inspired chicken wings in the air fryer! Tossed in a sweet, tangy, and spicy sauce made with Everiday Chili, these gluten-free wings are the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

When it comes to game day snacks, family dinners, or even a fun Friday night in, nothing beats a plate of finger-licking chicken wings. The problem? Most wings are deep-fried in refined oils, drenched in sugary sauces, and leave you feeling heavy.

Enter these Crispy Asian-Inspired Air Fryer Wings. They’re everything you love about wings, crispy, juicy, and coated in a sticky, flavor-packed sauce, but made lighter, gluten-free, and nourishing for your body.

What makes these wings different?

  • Air fryer crispiness without deep frying – Tapioca flour and a touch of baking powder create that irresistible golden crunch, no vats of oil required.
  • Gut-friendly swaps –  Coconut aminos replace soy sauce for a gluten-free, soy-free umami flavor.
  • Flavor, not fillers – The sauce is powered by Everiday Chili.

Ingredient spotlight

  • Tapioca flour: A starch derived from cassava root. It’s naturally gluten-free and helps create that light, crisp coating.
  • Coconut aminos: A savory sauce made from coconut sap. It’s slightly sweeter than soy sauce, but with a rich umami flavor that works perfectly in Asian-inspired dishes.
  • Everiday Chili Sauce/Oil: Packed with bold heat and depth, without seed oils. It’s what gives these wings their addictive kick.

Serving ideas

These wings are endlessly versatile!

  • Serve them as a game-day appetizer with extra chili oil on the side for dipping.
  • Pair with a crisp Asian slaw or steamed jasmine rice for a balanced dinner.
  • Add them to a platter with roasted veggies for a fun, family-style spread.

Whether you’re hosting friends or just treating yourself, these wings are guaranteed to disappear fast.

Crispy Asian-Inspired Chili Wings (Gluten-Free & Flavor-Packed)

Crispy, saucy, and utterly addictive.

PREPARATION TIME: 10 MIN COOKING TIME: 20 MIN TOTAL TIME: 30 MIN

INGREDIENTS

    Wings
    • 2 lbs / 1KG chicken wings
    • 2 tbsp tapioca flour
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
    • Olive or Avocado oil cooking spray
    Sauce
    • 2 Tbsp Everiday Chili Sauce or Oil of choice
    • 2 Tbsp coconut aminos
    • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
    • optional (if you like your wings sweet) 1 Tbsp honey
    Garnish
    • chopped spring onion,

    • toasted sesame seeds

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Pat dry your cleaned wings.  Dry wings are the key to have them crisp up.
    2. In a medium to large bowl mix the tapioca flour, baking powder, and salt.  Toss your dried wings in the flour mixture.
    3. Line your airfryer basket and lay your wings in 1 layer (depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to cook in batches).  Give the wings a light spray of cooking oil and airfry at 425F / 200C for 16 minutes, tuning the wings half way through cooking.
    4. While the wings are cooking, make your sauce but adding all the ingredients to a saucepan and heat on a medium flame for a few minutes.  Once the mixture starts to bubble a little, turn the stove off.
    5. Once the wings are done cooking, place them in a large bowl, pour the sauce over and toss to coat well.
    6. Pop them back in the air fryer at 425F / 200C for another 4 to 5 minutes
    7. Plate them up and garnish with spring onion and sesame seeds.
