Chicken wings with Hoisin, Sriracha, and Sesame Seeds
It is that time of the year, when I resurrect my chicken wing recipes. This one is always high on my list, something about that Hoisin and Sriracha magic that calls my name. They taste just as good done in the air-fryer and is less fussy.
Now, just because I really do not completely follow Superbowl does not mean, that I cannot cook up a recipe for wings in time for the big game. I can cook it and if you try it, you will agree like me that it is pretty good.
My Chicken Wings with Hoisin, Sriracha and Sesame Seeds Story
And let me tell you it is easy and not terribly unhealthy. So there! Now you have a super easy Asian Inspired recipe for Hoisin and Scallion Chicken Wings that you can surprise your friends with. Weekends especially Sundays are about something special, today I made it work with these insanely easy and flavorful chicken wings. I had actually assembled them earlier, so all I did was turn on the oven and bake them.
What I do not do well
I have to confess; this recipe is getting out there really as a challenge to myself. For all my professions of seasonal eating, I never get posts up in time for the events. I have lofty ambitions for Valentine’s Day (who knows, I just might make it this year!). For that matter, also Thanksgiving and almost any other event that you can thing about. This weekend I had tried these chicken wings and we all loved them.
The air fried version is a little drier and a little crisper. Do not skip the marinating, it adds a lot of flavor.
The magic ingredient here is hoisin sauce, yes, sticky sweet hoisin the peeking duck kind. Actually I seem to have a bottle of the stuff that I am not quite doing enough with, so you will see some of it show up in various dishes here and there over the next few weeks. I will warn you that this recipe has almost all of the ingredients in the title and they really are super simple.
Other recipes that I use Hoisin Sauce well include, Chili Pork and Hoisin Rice Noodles and Turkey Hoisin Burgers.

Notes
Air Fryer/CrispLid Directions
Continue with the recipe until ready to cook. Place the long trivet in the instant pot. Place the trivet in the inner pot. Place the air fryer basket on the trivet and place about 8 to 10 wings on the trivet. This will depend on the size of your wings.
Place the CrispLid over the pot. Cook at 425 degrees for 9 minutes. Turn and cook for another 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the basket. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds and serve.
