Yield: 2 Servings

Ingredients

1 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp allspice
¼ tsp Cayenne pepper freshly ground
1 ¼ lb Chicken wings segmented
1 Lime finely sliced
1 cup water
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp date syrup
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Lime as needed cut into wedges
Cooking spray as needed

This recipe channels the flavors of a South African braai. A braai is a BBQ party around an open fire and it’s also a spice mix used for these events. These wings are tossed in a similar spice mix, with smoked paprika to give it a kiss of that open fire flavor.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, coriander, smoked paprika, pepper, garlic powder, allspice and cayenne.
In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken wings and spice mix and toss well to coat. Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to overnight.
Pour water in the Instant Pot and add the lime slices.
Place the air fryer basket in its base in the multicooker and add the wings, spreading in as much of a single layer as possible (a little overlapping is okay).
Pressure cook on High for 5 Minutes. When the time is up, carefully quick release the pressure.
Remove the basket and pour out any liquid in the pot. Pat the wings dry then coat basket with cooking spray and redistribute in a single layer in the pot.
Air Fry at 400°F / 205°C for 8 Minutes. Turn over wings and air fry for another 8 Minutes.
Remove the basket and pour off any fat in the bottom of the pot. Set the pot to Sauté on High/More.
Melt the butter in the pot and stir in the date syrup and vinegar (or 1/4 cup Tamarind Date Sauce).
Add the wings and toss well. Arrange on a serving platter. Serve with lime wedges.
