Make perfectly crispy, Asian-inspired chicken wings in the air fryer! Tossed in a sweet, tangy, and spicy sauce made with Everiday Chili, these gluten-free wings are the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
When it comes to game day snacks, family dinners, or even a fun Friday night in, nothing beats a plate of finger-licking chicken wings. The problem? Most wings are deep-fried in refined oils, drenched in sugary sauces, and leave you feeling heavy.
Enter these Crispy Asian-Inspired Air Fryer Wings. They’re everything you love about wings, crispy, juicy, and coated in a sticky, flavor-packed sauce, but made lighter, gluten-free, and nourishing for your body.
What makes these wings different?
- Air fryer crispiness without deep frying – Tapioca flour and a touch of baking powder create that irresistible golden crunch, no vats of oil required.
- Gut-friendly swaps – Coconut aminos replace soy sauce for a gluten-free, soy-free umami flavor.
- Flavor, not fillers – The sauce is powered by Everiday Chili.
Ingredient spotlight
- Tapioca flour: A starch derived from cassava root. It’s naturally gluten-free and helps create that light, crisp coating.
- Coconut aminos: A savory sauce made from coconut sap. It’s slightly sweeter than soy sauce, but with a rich umami flavor that works perfectly in Asian-inspired dishes.
- Everiday Chili Sauce/Oil: Packed with bold heat and depth, without seed oils. It’s what gives these wings their addictive kick.
Serving ideas
These wings are endlessly versatile!
- Serve them as a game-day appetizer with extra chili oil on the side for dipping.
- Pair with a crisp Asian slaw or steamed jasmine rice for a balanced dinner.
- Add them to a platter with roasted veggies for a fun, family-style spread.
Whether you’re hosting friends or just treating yourself, these wings are guaranteed to disappear fast.
Crispy Asian-Inspired Air Fryer Wings (Gluten-Free & Flavor-Packed)
Crispy, saucy, and utterly addictive.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 lbs / 1KG chicken wings
- 2 tbsp tapioca flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- Olive or Avocado oil cooking spray
- 2 Tbsp Everiday Chili Sauce or Oil of choice (we used Garlic Chili)
- 2 Tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- optional (if you like your wings sweet) 1 Tbsp honey
-
chopped spring onion,

toasted sesame seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pat dry your cleaned wings. Dry wings are the key to have them crisp up.
- In a medium to large bowl mix the tapioca flour, baking powder, and salt. Toss your dried wings in the flour mixture.
- Line your airfryer basket and lay your wings in 1 layer (depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to cook in batches). Give the wings a light spray of cooking oil and airfry at 425F / 200C for 16 minutes, tuning the wings half way through cooking.
- While the wings are cooking, make your sauce but adding all the ingredients to a saucepan and heat on a medium flame for a few minutes. Once the mixture starts to bubble a little, turn the stove off.
- Once the wings are done cooking, place them in a large bowl, pour the sauce over and toss to coat well.
- Pop them back in the air fryer at 425F / 200C for another 4 to 5 minutes
- Plate them up and garnish with spring onion and sesame seeds.
