Spread out the wings in the air fryer basket, then set the air fryer to cook at 360 °F for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, flip the wings. Set the air fryer to cook for another 10 minutes and resume cooking.
After 10 more minutes, flip the wings again. Brush the top of the wings with the reamining sauce, then cook 5 minutes more.
After 5 minutes, check to make sure the wings are done. They should be browned and crispy, and cooked all the way through. If they are not quite done, add 5 more minutes and check again.
Top with cilantro, if you like it, and serve!

Notes

What to Do with Leftovers

Wings are best eaten straight away, but it is also possible to store them for later.

Storing: Store leftovers in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 4 days.
Freezing: Store leftovers in air tight containers for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Reheat leftover wings in the air fryer for 5 minutes at 360°F (180°C), until heated through.
Reheat from frozen: You don't need to thaw frozen wings, just cook them straight from frozen. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, until well heated throughout.

How to Prep Wings Ahead of Time

You can marinate the wings up to 24 hours before you want to serve them. Marinate covered in the fridge, and bring them out to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking. Cook according to instructions, and enjoy!
