Instructions

1
Insert the wire rack into position 4. Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 230°C, for 30 minutes, enable Rotate Remind and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
2
Whisk all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Cover and place on top of the oven to warm.
Tip: The sauce can be made a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
3
To prepare the wings, combine the baking powder and salt in a small bowl, sprinkle over the wings and toss to coat. The baking powder helps to crisp and brown the wings.
4
For easy cleaning and to avoid burning, line the roasting pan with foil and place the broiling rack on top. Place the wings on the rack, evenly spaced apart. This helps to get even air flow and crisp the wings.
5
Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and air fry for 30 minutes. When the Rotate Remind signals, rotate the pan and turn the wings to allow the base to crisp.
6
The wings should be browned and cooked through. If not, air fry a little longer.
7
Reserve half the sauce in a small serving bowl. Toss the wings in the remaining sauce.
8
Sprinkle the wings with green onions and sesame seeds and serve with the reserved sauce.
