Easy Air Fryer Piri Piri Chicken Wings
Delicious crispy wings air fried in 30 minutes, then covered in a full of flavour spicy sauce!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 chicken wings (approx. 600g) wing tips removed and jointed to give 16 pieces in total
- 2 tsp baking powder (see Notes)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
- vegetable or sunflower oil spray
For the sauce:
- 120 ml (½ cup) piri piri sauce - I use Nando’s medium (see Notes)
- 50 g (1.8 oz) butter
Instructions
- Put the wings into a large bowl and toss well with the baking powder, salt, and pepper until all of the wings are coated.
- Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket(s), or on racks, sprayed with oil (you may need to work in batches depending on the size of your drawer(s)).
- Cook at 120C for 15 minutes then turn the wings over and cook at 200C for 15 minutes.
- Make the sauce - melt the butter in a small saucepan, then add the piri piri sauce. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
- Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl, pour over the sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- Sauce – change out piri piri sauce for hot sauce (I like Frank’s RedHot Wings Buffalo Sauce) to make buffalo wings instead!
- Baking powder makes the chicken skin blister and air frying makes them lovely and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside!
- This easy air fryer piri piri chicken wings recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
