INGREDIENTS
- 6 chicken wings, halved
- 1 bulb of garlic
- 3 lemongrass stalks, finely chopped
- Pinch of salt, white pepper & sugar (for frying garlic and lemongrass)
The Marinade
- ½ tsp five spice
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine
The Batter:
- 100 g cornflour
- 1 ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
Quick Sweet Chili Sauce:
- 3–4 cloves garlic
- 4–5 large red chilies
- 1 tbsp premium light soy sauce
- 5–6 tbsp rice vinegar
- 120 g sugar
- 2 tbsp water
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix the marinade ingredients with the chicken wings. Then add the batter ingredients on top and mix well.
- Place the wings in the Vortex Air Fryer with space between each piece. Spray the wings with oil, select Air Fry, and set the temperature to 200°C and the time to 25 minutes.
- Turn the wings when prompted to “turn food.”
- While the wings are air frying, cook the sweet chili sauce ingredients in a sauté pan on your Instant Pot until they reach a light, jam-like consistency.
- Then, in a wok, fry the garlic and lemongrass until crispy and golden brown. Strain through a sieve onto kitchen paper.
- Season the wok ingredients, and when the wings are cooked, toss them through the fried wok mix and serve with the sweet chili dipping sauce.
