Ingredients
  

For the Gluten-Free Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/2 c. tamari or coconut aminos
  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
