Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Finely chop 2-3 stalks of fresh lemongrass and mince 3 cloves of garlic. Combine in a bowl with 3 tablespoons of chili paste and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Mix until well blended and let sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, add 2 pounds of chicken wings and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour the lemongrass and chili marinade over the wings and toss until evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Place the marinated wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
  5. Remove the wings and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve on a platter and consider garnishing with fresh cilantro.
