Ingredients

1 lb chicken wings
1 Tb fish sauce
1 tsp white pepper
1 ea zest of 1 lemon about 1 tsp

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together. Let marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 2 days.
Spread out on air fryer tray without touching each other, if possible. Cook for 8 minutes at 375, then 7 minutes at 400. The wings should be uniform, shiny, dark golden brown.

Notes

If using a fish sauce that does not have sugar in it, add a pinch of sugar to the marinade for better browning.
Add 1/2 tsp of garlic powder of fresh minced garlic. If you use fresh garlic, take as much of it off the chicken after marinating to avoid burned bits in the oven.
If you have more than 1 lb of wings to cook, cook in separate 1 lb batches. Remove the cooked wings to a 200 degree oven on a racked sheet pan to stay warm (and crispy).
If you feel the need to flip, you can do so 1/2 way through cooking, but it is not entirely necessary.
If using a conventional oven, spread on an oiled rack over a sheet pan. Bake in a preheated 375 oven for about 40-60 minutes until the temperature reaches 160 degrees in the thickest part of the wing.
