Description
These Air Fryer Vietnamese Chicken Wings (Canh Ga Chien Nuoc Mam) are covered in sweet and savoury sauce but are still crispy. Use the air fryer to crisp up the wings and coat them with this fish sauce, garlic and sugar dipping sauce. Not only is it finger-licking good, but it’s also a healthier version compared to the deep-fried recipe.
Ingredients
3 lbs of chicken wings
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp of black pepper
1 cup of flour
Oil spray
Fish sauce glaze
8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tbsp oil
2 tbsp fish sauce
3 tbsp of brown sugar
3 tbsp water
Instructions
1. Marinade chicken wings with garlic powder, salt and black pepper for 20 minutes.
2. Heat a small frying pan and add oil. Add the garlic and keep the heat on medium and fry for 10 minutes or until the garlic has a nice golden brown colour. Keep in mind the garlic can burn easily if the heat is turned up.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F. Coat the marinated chicken wings in the flour and spray cooking oil over them. Cook chicken wings for 25 minutes and flip after 12 minutes. Increase the temperature to 400 degrees F and cook for 5 more minutes until the wings are a nice golden brown colour.
4. While the chicken wings are cooking in the air fryer. Heat a small saucepan on medium and add the 2 tbsp fish sauce, 3 tbsp brown sugar and 3 tbsp water. Cook for 15 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Add the fried garlic into the sauce.
5. Once the chicken wings are cooked take them out of the air fryer and place them in a big mixing bowl. Add the fish sauce glaze and toss until fully coated.
6. Plate and serve those finger-licking good wings!
