  - Tip: Adds depth of flavor.
- 5 g Black pepper (ground) (黑胡椒粉) — per serving
  - Tip: Freshly ground for better flavor.
- 60 g All-purpose flour (中筋面粉) — per serving
  - Tip: Regular all-purpose flour works fine.

  - Tip: Cornstarch or potato starch both work.
- 5 ml Cooking oil (食用油) — per serving
  - Tip: Vegetable oil for spraying.

### Optional

- 5 ml Yogurt or milk (酸奶或牛奶)
  - Tip: Helps make the meat more tender.
- 1 piece Eggs (鸡蛋)
  - Tip: Used to make the egg wash.
- 1 g Baking powder (泡打粉)

## Tools

Air fryer, Ziploc bag, Oil sprayer or brush, Mixing bowl, Toothpick

## Method (10 steps)

1. **Prep the Chicken Wings** — Wash the chicken wings and pat them dry. Make 2 cuts on each side of every wing.
   - Duration: 5 min
   - Tip: Patting them dry helps the marinade absorb and improves the later coating.
   ![Step 1: Prep the Chicken Wings](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_kong-qi-zha-guo-cui-pi-xian-yan-zha-ji/step_1.jpg)
2. **Make the Marinade** — Mix 15ml light soy sauce, 8g garlic powder, 5g paprika, 3g onion powder, 3g black pepper, and milk or yogurt.
   - Duration: 2 min
   - Tip: Yogurt makes the meat more tender.
   ![Step 2: Make the Marinade](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_kong-qi-zha-guo-cui-pi-xian-yan-zha-ji/step_2.jpg)
3. **Marinate the Chicken Wings** — Place the chicken wings and marinade in a zip bag, massage thoroughly, and refrigerate overnight.
   - Duration: 10 min
   - Tip: Overnight refrigeration gives the best results; if pressed for time, marinate for at least 2 hours.

4. **Prepare the Coating** — Mix 60g all-purpose flour, 30g starch, 5g garlic powder, 5g paprika, 2g onion powder, 2g black pepper, and 1g baking powder until evenly combined.
   - Duration: 3 min
   - Tip: Baking powder is the secret to a crispy exterior.
   ![Step 4: Prepare the Coating](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_kong-qi-zha-guo-cui-pi-xian-yan-zha-ji/step_4.jpg)
5. **First Coating** — Shake off excess moisture from the chicken wings, press them into the coating, shake off the excess, and let them rest for 10 minutes.
   - Duration: 10 min
   - Tip: Resting helps the coating adhere better to the meat.
   ![Step 5: First Coating](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_kong-qi-zha-guo-cui-pi-xian-yan-zha-ji/step_5.jpg)
6. **Second Coating (Optional)** — For a thicker crust, dip in egg wash and coat a second time, then rest for 20 minutes.
   - Duration: 20 min
   - Tip: A second coating creates a sturdier crust that is less likely to fall off.

7. **Preheat and Load** — Preheat the Air Fryer to 180°C for 5 minutes. Brush the basket with cooking oil, place the chicken wings skin-side down, and spray the surface with oil.
   - Duration: 5 min
   - Tip: Spray the oil evenly; any dry spots must be covered with oil.
   ![Step 7: Preheat and Load](https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/zkeq/vibe-cook-backend/dataset/images/steps/other_kong-qi-zha-guo-cui-pi-xian-yan-zha-ji/step_7.jpg)
8. **First Fry Stage** — Fry at 180°C for 10 minutes.
   - Duration: 10 min
   - Tip: Do not stack the wings; ensure air can circulate.

9. **Flip and Re-oil** — Flip the wings, spray a thin layer of oil on the surface, and fry at 180°C for another 6 minutes.
   - Duration: 6 min
   - Tip: Re-oiling after flipping is key to achieving color.

10. **Crisp and Color Boost** — Check the color and doneness; if needed, fry at 200°C for 1-2 minutes to add crispness.
   - Duration: 2 min
   - Tip: Insert a toothpick; if no blood runs out, it is cooked.

## Tips

- This recipe also works for bone-in chicken thighs; increase the cooking time accordingly.
- Spice lovers can add 3g chili powder to the coating.
- For a cumin flavor, sprinkle 2g cumin powder and white sesame seeds after cooking.
- Never stack the chicken wings, or uneven heating will result in a non-crispy crust.
- Garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder can be adjusted to taste.
