Detailed steps for cooking Honey Black Pepper Chicken Wings

Wash the chicken wings; adjust the quantity according to the amount of food needed.

Put ginger slices, garlic slices, and star anise into the bowl with the chicken wings.

Sprinkle a little salt and pour a little soy sauce, mix well; this is the basic seasoning.

If your family can eat spicy food, you can add a little black pepper powder to remove the fishy smell and increase the fragrance; you can also add chili powder to increase the spiciness.

Mix well, marinate for at least 30 minutes, turn over once during the process to facilitate seasoning; if the room temperature is higher than 30 degrees, you can put it in the refrigerator to prevent spoilage.

Ready to bake the marinated chicken wings! Clean the air fryer in advance, first lay ginger slices and garlic slices on the bottom, and then place the chicken wings on top of the ginger and garlic slices, which can prevent the chicken skin from sticking to the frying basket; if it is the first time using the air fryer, be sure to use 200 degrees to bake for 20 minutes to remove the odor.

The air fryer has a “chicken wings” program, set the time to 18 minutes, and the temperature to 200 degrees; this time includes preheating the cold pot; you can also pre-bake for 3 minutes and then put the chicken wings in the frying basket, but be careful to avoid scalding.

Do not pour out the remaining marinade, add some honey to it, stir well, and adjust it to honey sauce.

When there are 8 minutes left, pull out the frying basket, turn the chicken wings over, and use a brush to dip an appropriate amount of honey sauce and brush it on the surface of the wings; the sauce can be brushed thicker to allow more honey to penetrate into the meat.

Push the frying basket back into the fryer to complete the remaining 6 minutes; the baked chicken wings are golden and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside, with excess oil from the chicken skin all baked out.

Looking at the chicken oil and some juice left in the frying basket, the chicken oil is under the baking tray, don’t worry about the frying basket being difficult to clean, use a paper towel to wipe off these fats, and soak the frying basket and baking tray in a water basin after cooling, use a sponge to dip a little detergent, and wipe it clean.
