Air Fryer Tempura Chicken Wings

Ingredients

3 pounds chicken wings, cut into three sections, wing tips discarded
3/4 cup cup cornstarch, separated
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cold water
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Wash the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Set them aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Stir well. Slow pour in the cold water, whisking the mixture until smooth and no lumps.

Dip each wing into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated. Transfer coated wings to the air fryer basket, leaving a space between them ( you may need to work in batches).

Fry at 400 F (200 C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve hot.
