Air-fryer Soy & Cranberry Chicken Wings

Marinate chicken wings in cranberry and soy sauce, then cook in an air-fryer to make this tasty side. They’re perfect for a buffet or movie night snack.

SERVES: 8
PREP TIME: 5mins
Cooking Time: 20-40mins

Ingredients:

• 1kg chicken wings
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 6 tbsp cranberry sauce
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tsp ginger paste, or freshly grated ginger
• 2 tsp vegetable oil

Method:

1. Pat the chicken wings dry using a clean tea towel or kitchen paper (this helps ensure the wings crisp up). Heat the air-fryer to 200C. Combine the soy sauce, cranberry sauce, oregano, garlic, ginger and vegetable oil in a small bowl or jug. Put the chicken wings in a large bowl, then spoon or pour over the cranberry mixture.
2. Toss everything together and mix well so the chicken wings are well coated. The uncooked wings will keep frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Tip the wings into the air-fryer basket and cook for 15-20 mins at 200C (or 20-25 mins at 180C from frozen), turning halfway through until cooked through and beginning to brown at the edges. You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your air-fryer.
