These sweet and sticky Thai inspired wings, encompass everything that is so incredible about Thai food. These wings are hot, sweet, salty and sour. It’s so easy to re-create the crispy texture of fried chicken wings in your air fryer, and as a bonus, you save on calories, too, as opposed to deep frying in oil. You can garnish with Thai basil, but it's optional, substitute for basil or even mint.
