- scotch bonnet (chopped to taste (I used half a scotch bonnet)optional (or use ¼ of powdered chilli instead))
- 2 tbsp raw cane sugar (optional)
- ½ tbsp all purpose seasoning
- 1½ tbsp tapioca starch
- 1½ tbsp warm water

- 2 tbsp all purpose seasoning
- ½ tsp black pepper

- 1 tsp thyme (fresh or dried)
- 1 tsp garlic granules (or powder)
- 1 tsp onion granules (or powder)
- ½ tsp pink salt
Method
- Preheat the air fryer.
- Prepare the sorrel sauce by adding the sorrel, tomato puree and scotch bonnet to a blender and proceed to blitz into a smooth consistency(skip this step if you omit the scotch bonnet or use scotch bonnet powder instead .
- Pour the sorrel and tomato mixture into a medium sized saucepan on medium heat and begin to whisk until it starts to heat through.
- Once heated, add the all purpose seasoning (chilli if you are using) and raw cane sugar continuing to whisk
- Mix together the tapioca starch and warm water in a small bowl.
- Once combined, pour the tapioca starch with the warm water into the sorrel mixture, continuing to stir until the sauce starts to thicken up.
- Place the chicken in a medium sized bowl and proceed to coat with the green seasoning, all purpose seasoning and black pepper.
- Add the ingredients for the flour blend (tapioca starch, all purpose seasoning, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder and pink salt to a zip lock/secure tied bag along with the chicken and shake the bag to coat the chicken..
- Place the chicken wings in the air fryer basket (you might have to do this in batches) being careful not to overcrowd.
- Set the air fryer to 180c/356f for 20 minutes, turning the chicken half way through.
- 5 minutes before the chicken wings are done cooking, open the fryer basket and use tongs to dunk the wings in the sauce then return the wings to the air basket and repeat.
- To crisp the wings, resume air frying for another 5-10 minutes.
- If you want the wings wet/sticky then pour the remaining sauce over the chicken wings before serving or alternatively, serve as a dipping sauce.
