Put on a glove and mix everything until the wings are well coated. Add the Sauces: Pour in the oyster sauce, rice wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and olive oil.

Air Fry the Wings: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F). Arrange the marinated chicken wings in the air fryer basket and air fry them for 10 minutes. Flip and Continue Cooking: After 10 minutes, flip the wings and air fry for another 10 minutes. Prepare the Cha Siu Glaze: While the wings are cooking, mix together the cha siu sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and honey in a small bowl. Glaze the Wings: After 20 minutes of cooking, take the wings out and brush them with the cha siu glaze. Flip them again, glaze the other side, and then reduce the air fryer temperature to 150°C (300°F). Air fry for an additional 3 minutes. Final Glaze: After 3 minutes, check the wings. If they’re looking good, give them another quick glaze with the remaining sauce. Cook for another 3 minutes.
