Ingredients

1 kg (2lb) chicken wings
1 tbsp oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice / lime juice
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp fresh ginger grated
1 red chilli
1 stalk lemon grass roughly chopped
salt to taste

To serve

1 cup peanuts roughly chopped
1 red chilli finely chopped (optional)
½ cup spring onion/green onion finely chopped

Instructions

Combine the oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, chilli and lemongrass in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt.
Place the chicken wings in a large bowl then pour over the marinade. Cover and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes but ideally overnight in the fridge.
To cook, place the chicken wings in a single layer in the basket of an air fryer.
Cook at 200°C/390°F for 15-20 minutes, turning over half way, until the wings are caramelized and cooked through.
While the chicken wings are cooking, toast or roast the peanuts in a hot pan/hot oven for 5 minutes until lightly golden brown.
To serve, top the chicken wings with the peanuts, finely chopped chillies and spring onion/green onion.
