- 3 T. Swerve brown sugar replacement
- 2 t. sesame oil
- 2 T. honey preferably local
- 2 T. mirin
- 2 t. fresh ginger , minced
- 1 large clove of garlic , minced
- 1 T. cornstarch
- 2 T. water
For the Chicken
- 2 lbs. chicken wings
- 2 t. baking powder , divided
- 1 t. garlic powder
- 1 t. salt
- 1/2 t. ground black pepper
- 1 T. white sesame seeds
- 1 T. finely chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining the tamari, Swerve, sesame oil, honey, mirin, ginger, and garlic in a skillet or small saucepan that is set over medium heat.
Create a slurry by combining the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the sauce and continue cooking until thickened. Do this for approximately 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool before transferring to an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
To prepare the chicken wings, pre-heat the air fryer to 400°F. Set the timer to 30 minutes.
Arrange chicken wings in a single layer on a clean work surface. Pat dry with a paper towel and sprinkle evenly with one teaspoon of baking powder.
Transfer the wings to a large bowl and sprinkle with the remaining baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.
Cooking the Air Fryer Chicken Teriyaki Wings
When the air fryer is ready, add the seasoned chicken wings to the basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Close the lid and air fry for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, open the lid and turn the chicken wings with a plastic spatula or silicon tongs so they cook evenly. Close the lid and air fry for another 10-15 minutes or until the wings are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through.
Meanwhile, reheat the teriyaki sauce in a skillet set over medium for several minutes, stirring occasionally, or until warm throughout. Reduce heat to low to keep warm until ready to use.
Transfer the crispy chicken wings from the air fryer basket to a large glass bowl and pour half the teriyaki sauce on top. Toss to combine.
