Ingredients

chicken wings
2 lbs
Egg
1
cornstarch
0.8 cup
avocado oil
2 tbsp
garlic, minced
16 cloves
rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
0.3 cup
salt
2 tsp
black pepper
0.5 tsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the avocado oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic, then toss until the wings are evenly coated. If using rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar, stir it in at this stage.

Add the egg and cornstarch to the bowl. Mix well until the wings are fully coated and no dry pockets of cornstarch remain.

Preheat the air fryer to 380 F. Arrange the wings in a single layer, working in batches if needed so they do not overlap. Air fry for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the wings are browned and nearly cooked through.
