3 Ingredient Wings

These air fryer wings are my go-to on tired days. The marinade uses just 3 pantry staples and takes less than 2 minutes to throw together with no measuring required.

Toddler approved and tired mama approved.

3 Ingredient Air Fryer Chicken Wings

One of my go-to recipes when I don’t have the energy to think and just need something quick, tasty, and toddler-approved on the table. Always hits the spot.

They’re golden and full of flavour without needing any extra oil or deep frying. I usually pair them with some soupy noodles or rice and call it a quietly complete dinner.

Even my toddlers don’t complain, and that’s saying something.

Why I Love It:

✔️ 3-ingredient marinade
✔️ No measuring, no stress
✔️ Freezer-friendly
✔️ Toddler-approved + non-toxic cook method

Ingredients:

- Chicken mid wings or drumlets
- Soy sauce
- Sesame oil
- Cornstarch (be generous!)
(Use equal-ish amounts, no need to measure exactly)

Optional:
- A small dash of garlic powder, white pepper, or anything you feel like

Instructions:

1. Pat chicken wings dry
2. Add soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch
3. Toss to combine and marinate for a few minutes (or however much time you have)
4. Air fry at 200°C for 20 minutes or until cooked through

👶🏻 Baby-Friendly Tip:

For toddlers under 1, use a low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos. You can also skip the sesame oil and brush it on separately for more control
