2 tsp sesame oil
2 garlic cloves minced

Instructions

Place the frozen chicken wings in the air fryer basket and cook at 190°C/375°F for 10 minutes until the wings are thawed.
Drizzle/spray the chicken wings with olive oil then season with salt and garlic powder. Toss to coat then air fry for 20 minutes at 205°C/400°F, flipping the wings over half way through, until crisp and golden.

Once cooked, transfer the chicken wings to a large bowl and pour over the glaze. Toss to coat the wings in the sauce then serve.
