Basic heat control and timing. Typical weeknight cooking.
Marinate the wings in half the sauce for 30 minutes, air-fry at 180°C for 18–20 minutes, turning once, until 75°C at the bone. Meanwhile reduce the rest of the sauce with the spices and toss the wings in it.
Keeps 3 days in the fridge; reheat gently in the sauce.
Chicken wings braised in a glossy, sweet soy sauce with rock sugar, star anise and wine until sticky and tender. A Hong Kong invention whose name is said to come from a mishearing of 'sweet' as 'Swiss'.
