Ingredients for Teriyaki Wings
Wings: Use fresh or frozen wings in this recipe. Simply add extra baking and air frying time to frozen wings. For the best results, be sure the wings are the same size so they cook evenly.
Teriyaki Sauce: If time allows, I recommend homemade teriyaki sauce, which is a combination of brown sugar, juice, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
If buying teriyaki sauce, ensure it has a thick consistency like barbecue sauce – I like Sweet Baby Rays Teriyaki sauce or honey teriyaki sauce.
VARIATIONS: Finely chopped green onions or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds over the finished wings make them look restaurant-ready!

Tips for Teriyaki Wings
Teriyaki sauce is sticky and can be difficult to clean!
If cooking teriyaki wings in the Air Fryer, once preheated place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of the basket before adding wings. Do not preheat with parchment paper or it will burn in the air fryer. When baking, use parchment paper or non-stick foil. This sauce can be difficult to clean from baking pans. Keep leftover wings in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze them in zippered bags for up to one month.
