Place the chicken wings into the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd and cook in batches if need to.
Cook the chicken wings for 5 minutes, then flip the wings and cook for another 5 minutes until the meat is cooked through.
Making the glaze
In the meantime, make the glaze by melting the butter on a pan over medium heat.
1 heaped tbsp Butter
Add the scotch bonnet and saute for 1 minute.
1 Scotch Bonnet
Stir in red miso, then add the maple syrup. Mix to combine.
1 tbsp Red Miso*, 3 tbsp Maple Syrup
Once the wings are ready, toss them in the glaze until fully coated.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
Chives (for garnish)
Notes
Kitchen gloves are highly recommended when chopping the scotch bonnet to prevent chilli burn.
Removing the chilli seeds will mellow down the heat level if you don't want it to get too spicy.
The darker the miso paste, the deeper & stronger flavour you get. We feel Red Miso is the sweet spot for this recipe but feel free to use other ones and adjust the amount accordingly to get the right flavouring.
Preheating your air fryer ensures the chicken gets cooked right away and yields a golden brown finish, as well as ensuring it gets cooked evenly.
Do not overcrowd your air fryer and cook in batches if need to. This is, again, to ensure your chicken gets cooked evenly.
