How to cook it

Prep timer

Cooking cue

Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 390F while you prep the ingredients so the first batch starts crisp.
  2. 1. Arrange wings in a shallow pan and coat with fish sauce, then season both sides with white pepper and cumin powder.
  3. 2. Let wings sit for exactly 10 minutes total, turning them over at the 5-minute mark to season evenly, then blot completely dry with paper towels.
  4. 3. Lightly oil the air fryer basket and arrange wings in a single layer with space between each piece.
  5. 4. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes, flip the wings, then cook another 10 minutes until both sides turn golden and crispy.
  6. 5. While wings cook, prepare the jaew dipping sauce and let it rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to develop flavor.
  7. Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
  8. 6. Garnish finished wings with chopped chilies and cilantro if desired, and serve alongside lime wedges and individual bowls of dipping sauce.
  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
