*For more flavors (totally optional), cook the fish sauce mix in a pan on medium heat until it is slightly thickens. Use this sauce to toss the wings later. 

Cooking Instructions: 

1. Pat the wings dry with paper towel before seasoning (moisture will make the wings soggy). 
2. Coat the chicken wings thoroughly with chicken marinate mix listed above. 
3. Place the wings in the air fryer in a single layer at 400F for 30 minutes or until golden crispy. Turn the wings halfway so they are crispy on both sides. 
4. While the wings are in the air fryer, make the fish sauce in a bowl. 
5. Once wings are done, place the wings in the sauce bowl and give it a good toss/mix. 
6. Plate it. Garnish with cilantro. Enjoy!
