## Ingredients

- 6 pieces Chicken mid-wings (鸡翅中) — per serving
  - Tip: Tyson's Orleans-style chicken mid-wings are recommended — they are pre-marinated and more convenient.

### Optional

- to taste Dried basil (罗勒碎)
  - Tip: Sprinkled on purely for looks.
- to taste Yunnan danshan dipping spice (云南单山蘸水)
  - Tip: Can be used as a substitute for BBQ seasoning to add flavor.

## Tools

Air fryer, Foil tray, Cling film

## Method (3 steps)

1. **Thaw Naturally** — Take the chicken wings out of the refrigerator. Place them skin-side down on a foil tray, sprinkle with chopped basil, cover with cling film, and thaw naturally for 20 minutes.
   - Duration: 20 min
   - Tip: Placing them skin-side down helps ensure even heating.
