1️⃣ Prep the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry using a paper towel. This helps them crisp up better. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lightly spray with avocado oil.

2️⃣ Bake or Air Fry:

Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer and bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) or higher.

Air Fryer Method: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the wings in a single layer and air fry for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and fully cooked.

3️⃣ Make the Sticky Glaze: While the wings are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ketchup and sweet Thai chili sauce, stirring for 2 minutes until it bubbles and slightly thickens. This step enhances caramelization and deepens the flavor.

4️⃣ Toss & Coat: Add the cooked wings to the skillet and toss until fully coated in the sticky glaze. Let them cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize onto the wings.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy: Transfer the wings to a serving plate and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds (optional). Serve hot and enjoy!
