My new favorite wings, Peri-Peri Sauce Chicken Wings! Peri-Peri Sauce is a rich and spicy South African sauce made with African Bird’s Eye Chili – it’s a tangy, slightly creamy hot sauce. I just picked this up from Trader Joe’s last week and after tasting it, I thought it would be wonderful for wings. If you can’t get a hold of the Trader Joe’s version you can order Nando’s Peri-Peri Sauce here or check your local supermarket.
I air fried the wings in an Instant Omni Pro, but any air fryer oven should work well. If you have the basket type, you’ll probably have to cook the wings in two batches. Baking Powder might sound like odd ingredient for wings, but it slightly changes the ph level of the chicken, which helps to lower the temperate at which the Miallard reaction occurs, helping to develop a brown, crispy texture.

This was so good and easy enough for a weeknight, which is my definition of a great recipe. Thank you, sincerely. We served the wings with celery and blue cheese dressing to cool down from the serious spice. Trader Joe’s has 2lb bags of frozen organic chicken wings that worked perfectly. Thank you again.
