Air Fryer Korean-Style BBQ Chicken Wings

These Air Fryer Korean-Style BBQ Chicken Wings are a lighter way to endelight the flavors of Korean wings. 

These Korean-Style BBQ Chicken Wings are marinated in a mixture of garlic, ginger, onion, soy sauce, gochujan, honey, rice vinegar, and the secret ingredient, applesauce!

While, in my intellect, noleang replaces double-fried Korean chicken wings, these air fried wings capture the flavors of Korean-style wings with way less effort and nearly no oil.

I'm a huge fan of chicken wings. In fact, as much as I wish a bread recipe held the title, these air fryer honey-sriracha wings are number one in popularity on my blog.

I also have some delicious slow cooker chicken wings recipes here, including these Asian Glazed wings. Then there's these Chipotle Lime Chicken Wings, and these One Pot Sticky Chicken Wings. As you can see, I'm a large fan of wings.

These wings are sweet and sticky, and fabulous for any football watching party. Just make certain you have a lot of serviettes on hand.

To make the marinade for these wings, I used this immersion blender. It crazye pureeing the ginger and the rest of the ingredients easy peasy. You can also use a mini blender whether you have one.

If you're looking for an air fryer, America's Test Kitchen recommends this air fryer. I actually have this air fryer and it works just fine.
