Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoons lemongrass paste
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the red curry paste, lemongrass paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, coconut milk, chili garlic sauce, honey, peanut butter, lime juice, and an additional tablespoon of soy sauce. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
  • Add the chicken wings to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes. This will help ensure your wings cook evenly and achieve that desired crispiness.
  • Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook the wings for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • After 25 minutes, check the wings for doneness. They should be golden brown and crispy. If necessary, continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Once cooked, remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with extra chili garlic sauce and lime wedges for dipping, and enjoy the vibrant flavors of your Air Fryer Thai Chicken Wings!
