- 1/2 tablespoon (8 ml) Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Brown Sugar (optional)
- 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger (2g)

Instructions
- Pat the chicken wings dry using a paper towel. Place them into a zip-lock bag along with baking powder and spices. Seal the bag tightly, removing all air, and shake well until the wings are evenly coated.
- Lightly coat the metal rack or basket with cooking spray and lay the wings out in a single layer. Close the Ninja Foodi lid, select the AIR CRISP function, adjust the temperature to 400°F, and set the timer for 20 minutes, then press START. While the wings are cooking, prepare the sweet chili sauce. *Refer to Recipe Notes for oven alternative!
- After 10 minutes, open the lid and use tongs to turn the wings over to prevent sticking. Close the lid again and let them cook for the remaining time.
- When the timer goes off, check if the wings are fully cooked by verifying their internal temperature. Let them sit for 5 minutes before coating them in the sweet chili sauce.
- Mix all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and heat on the stove over medium heat. Let the sauce come to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring until it thickens slightly. Keep the sauce warm until the wings are ready.
- Thoroughly coat the cooked wings in the sauce by tossing or dipping them. I prefer them well-covered.
- Arrange the sauced wings in a single layer on a greased baking sheet with a wire rack. Broil them on the top oven rack on HIGH for 2-4 minutes. Stay nearby and monitor frequently to prevent burning. When the sauce becomes sticky and the wings are nicely colored, remove them from the oven. Serve hot with optional toppings and Sriracha Ranch.
- Mix all components in a small bowl and stir well. Serve alongside the warm Sweet Chili Chicken Wings.
Notes
- Use skinless chicken wings for a lighter dish with reduced fat content.
- Customize the wings’ flavor profile by experimenting with various spices and seasonings.
- Adjust Sriracha and cayenne pepper amounts in the sauce to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
