How to thicken wing sauce?

To thicken wing sauce, simply whisk together 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and add into the sauce. You can add more if you need too, but this is a good start.

What is the best method to cook chicken wings?

Besides deep frying, my favorite method is the air fryer. It's so easy and the wings get incredibly crispy every time.

What to serve for dipping sauce for these Chicken Wings?

I like to serve with additional glaze, but it's great to have my u003ca href=u0022https://simplymadeeats.com/11253/wingstop-ranch/u0022u003eWingstop Ranch recipeu003c/au003e to serve with these Chicken Wings too!

How to Store leftovers?

These are best served fresh, but store the leftovers in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer, but just watch them in the air fryer to make sure the glaze doesn't burn.

Instructions

Press the Chicken Wing button on air fryer to preheat or preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Once the air fryer is preheated, add the chicken wings in a single layer and cook for 25 minutes, flipping over halfway through frying.
Whisk the cornstarch and water in a bowl to avoid getting white chunks in the sauce.
Into a pot or skillet, add the cornstarch and water mixture, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sweet thai chili sauce. Stir to combine.
Cook the sauce in the pot over medium heat on the stovetop and bring to a boil (it takes about 5 minutes). Allow it to boil rapidly for 2 minutes and stir frequently. Turn off heat and allow the glaze to cool.
Transfer half of the sauce to a large bowl and the other half to a serving bowl for extra dipping sauce.

Add the chicken wings to a serving tray and top with sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Do NOT add the cornstarch directly into the sauce. It needs to be whisked with the water first to avoid any chunks of white powder in the glaze.
Allow the sauce or glaze to boil for a few minutes to help thicken the sauce.
Grate the ginger really fine to avoid large chunks in the sauce.
