Char Siu Wings / Cánh Gà Xá Xíu

Chicken wings are probably my favorite thing on this planet. Chinese BBQ is also up there as an all-time favorite. Combine the two, and you have possibly the greatest creation in Char siu chicken wings.

We’re using the same marinade as my standard xá xíu recipe, and we’re going to let the wings marinate overnight for the best effect.
As always, I’m skipping out on red dye and instead using fermented red bean curd for a more natural red coloring instead. If you want that bright red Chinese BBQ take-out look, definitely feel free to add a couple of drops.

We’re air frying this at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes, flipping halfway in between, but every air fryer is a little different, so adjust accordingly. The sugar content in the wings is on the higher side, so the likelihood of burning them increases the longer and higher temperature you cook them at.
