To make a nice less salty sauce with a good balance of flavor, this recipe uses equal parts of regular soy sauce and low sodium soy sauce. You can find these in the Asian section of most grocery stores or Asian supermarkets.

Soy Garlic Chicken Wing (bonchon Style)
The best way to dredge chicken wings in any type of flour is using a resealable plastic bag. This method is popularly known as Shake and Bake. Although in this recipe, we will be deep-frying the chicken and we will be making our own coating mix.
There are 3 ways to crispy fry the chicken wings. The first and the most classic method is deep-frying in hot oil, the second is air-frying using an air-fryer and the last is baking in an oven which is essentially similar to air-frying.
My favorite way of cooking the chicken for soy garlic wings is of course deep-frying. Let's be honest and just say that deep frying adds a unique flavor to the chicken that is difficult to replicate in air-frying.

Double frying is the secret to making extra crispy chicken wings. Yes, it requires a little bit more effort but it is worth it!
Let the chicken rest and cool after the first fry. Re-fry in hot oil until completely brown and crispy. Even if coated in a sauce after frying, the skin remains crisp.
The easiest way to check if the oil is at the right temperature is to stick a wooden chopstick or the end of a wooden spoon into the oil. If it's bubbling

Then it's ready. If it's bubbly too rapidly then it's too hot and will burn the chicken. Let it cool a bit then test again.
Place the chicken wings in the air-fryer basket in a single layer half an inch apart. Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches if necessary.
To prevent floury patches, brush both sides with oil. Do it generously. I don't recommend using conventional cooking spray/ chemical-based cooking spray as it may break down the coating.
Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Wings (must Try!)
The best temperature for air frying chicken wings is 200c or 400f. It will cook and brown the chicken with a total cooking time of 15 minutes. There's no need to use two different temperatures because chicken drumettes and wingettes aren't as thick as chicken thighs or breasts.
Cooking the chicken in the oven is essential the same as air-frying. The only difference is that is spacious and bigger in capacity.
To make sure that every wing is evenly covered in soy garlic sauce, throw the wings in a big stainless bowl. Now pour the sauce then shake the bowl. This shaking will make sure that the sauce will be evenly distributed on all the wings.

Add some chopped red chilies to the sauce. You can also add 2 to 3 teaspoons of gochujang (Korean red chili paste). It will make the sauce a little bit thicker and add a splash of water as needed.
To make ahead, make the sauce one day before you need it. Partially fry the chicken wings on the day you're serving it. Re-fry an hour before serving. Soy garlic wings are best served warm and freshly cooked.

I think it’s because you can still taste and feel corn starch particles when you fry the chicken bites in an air fryer, even if you shake it off well before cooking. (I even use a lot less corn starch (e.g. less than 1 cup) for air fryer since you have to shake it off anyway.) Also, the air fried version results in not as crunchy texture as when you double deep fry.
