Get the recipe for these Filipino-style chicken wings using patis and pantry staples. Make it even easier by cooking them in the air fryer.
Chicken wings are a staple in our household, but plain wings dipped in ranch get old fast. These patis chicken wings deliver savory Filipino flavor with a hint of sweetness. The marinade does all the work: patis brings umami depth, calamansi adds brightness, and a touch of brown sugar balances everything out. Serve them with rice for a quick weeknight dinner or put them out as an appetizer that’ll disappear in minutes. The best part? Everything comes from your pantry, so you can make this even when you’re not in the mood to cook.
Make the marinade: Combine patis, soy sauce, calamansi juice, brown sugar, garlic, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken wings and toss until each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Cook the chicken wings: Preheat air fryer to 200°C. Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Brush with oil. Cook for 10-11 minutes. Flip wings and brush with leftover marinade. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and the wings are cooked through.
Serving: Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with green onions.
