Air Fryer Chinese Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with black pepper, white pepper, salt, and half of the Chinese five-spice powder. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
2. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the chicken wings, ensuring all wings are evenly coated.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
4. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
5. Spray the wings lightly with cooking spray. This will help them to become extra crispy. Avoid spraying cooking oil directly on the air fryer as it can damage your nonstick coating.
6. Cook for 10 minutes, then turn the wings and cook for another 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Cooking times may vary from machine to machine.
7. When the chicken wings are about halfway done, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add oil, then add the green onion, minced garlic, ginger, and if using, the sliced serrano and red chili peppers. Sauté until fragrant.
8. Add the remaining salt and Chinese five-spice powder to the pan and stir well.
9. Toss the cooked wings in the stir fry mixture.
10. Enjoy immediately!
