1. Arrange the chicken wings in the basket, and sprinkle with ¾
teaspoon of the salt. Place the basket into the AirFryer. Select the
Wings preset, and press Start/Stop. When alerted, toss the wings.
Replace basket to finish cooking.
2. While the wings are AirFrying, prepare the sauce. In a small food
processor or chopper fitted with the metal chopping blade, add the
chiles, garlic, shallot, and ginger to the work bowl. Process on High
to finely chop. Scrape down the work bowl. Add the cilantro, oregano,
paprika, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of the salt; pulse to roughly chop.
With the unit running, add the vinegar, lemon juice, and lemon zest,
and process until chopped and well blended. Continue running while
adding the olive oil. Process until completely homogenous.
3. Once the wings have finished cooking, transfer to a large bowl, and
toss in the sauce. Serve immediately.
