Ingredients
Method
- First, I start by preheating my air fryer to 400°F. While it heats up, I mix the sinigang powder, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined. This creates the flavor coating.
- I pat my chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This step is important for getting them crispy. Then I toss them with olive oil in a bowl until each piece is coated. The oil helps my seasoning stick and promotes that beautiful browning.
- I sprinkle my sinigang seasoning mixture over the oiled wings and toss everything together until each wing is evenly coated. I make sure to get the seasoning on every side.
- I place my seasoned wings in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure not to crowd them (they need space to get crispy). If I'm cooking more than will fit, I do them in batches.
- I cook the wings for 25 minutes at 400°F. Halfway through (around 12-13 minutes), I flip each wing over.
- After cooking, I let the wings rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. They should be golden brown and crispy outside with juicy meat inside. I always check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety.
- Serve and enjoy your sinigang air-fried wings!
Notes
- Pat the wings extra dry. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
- Never overcrowd the air fryer basket. Give each wing space to breathe.
- If wings look dry halfway through, I spritz them with oil spray for extra crispiness.
- Let wings rest after cooking. This redistributes the juices and keeps them moist.
- Adjust sinigang powder to your taste. Some prefer more sour, others less intense.
- For extra crispy wings, add 1 teaspoon baking powder to the seasoning mix.
