Notes
Simmering Sauce Tip:
When simmering the sauce, it's important to remember that sugar can burn easily. Take your time with this step and keep the heat low to prevent burning. Rushing through it could result in a bitter taste.
Wing Preference:
Personally, I prefer using wingettes for this recipe because they tend to be of better quality and offer a nice balance of meat and skin. However, feel free to use whichever type of chicken wings you prefer or have on hand.
Additional Tips
Sauce Simmering: Simmer the peach bourbon sauce on low heat to prevent burning and achieve a perfect consistency.
Even Coating: Ensure each wing is fully coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
Air Fryer Basket: Arrange the wings in a single layer to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Temperature Monitoring: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, aiming for around 185°F (85°C).
Resting Time: Let the wings rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy and flavorful wings.
With these tips and techniques, you're ready to create a delicious, sweet, and tangy wing dish that will impress everyone. Enjoy the process, savor the flavors, and share your culinary success with friends and family.
