Preheat the air fryer to 160°C and cook 18 chicken wings until golden brown. While the wings are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Adjust sweetness to taste.

In a pan, heat a small amount of oil over high heat. Add bird's eye chilies, roughly chopped scallions, and minced ginger. Stir-fry until aromatic.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the cooked chicken wings. Stir to coat the wings with the spicy aroma.

Sprinkle 1/2 tsp black pepper over the wings and continue stirring.

Add the prepared sauce to the pan. Lower the heat to a simmer and stir until the sauce thickens and coats the wings.
