Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prep the Wings: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread chicken wings in a single layer. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 1 hour or overnight to dry the skin.
  2. Coat the Wings: In a mixing bowl, combine dried chicken wings with baking powder, paprika, and salt. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Air Fry the Wings: Preheat air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes. Place wings in a single layer, air fry for 18 minutes shaking halfway through, then increase to 400°F (204°C) for another 10 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Make Teriyaki Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, honey, and ground ginger. Stir and bring to a gentle boil. Mix cornstarch with a little water, add to sauce until desired consistency.
  5. Coat and Serve: Remove wings from the air fryer, place in a bowl, pour warm teriyaki sauce over and toss gently to coat.
