Discover how to prepare irresistible spicy pineapple chicken wings in an air fryer, an easy recipe that combines the sweetness of caramelized pineapple with the fiery kick of piri piri chilies. This dish, perfect as an appetizer or main course, will surprise your partner or guests with its balance of sweet and sour flavors and its crispy exterior and juicy interior, thanks to the air fryer.
The marinade is prepared in advance, allowing the flavors to intensify. Fresh pineapple adds sweetness and acidity, while brown sugar and paprika create a caramelized sauce that adheres perfectly to the wings. Baking soda, on the other hand, helps the skin become extra crispy in the air fryer.

We started with the dressing, which we will prepare long before making this recipe, for example at breakfast time, or the night before. Clean, dice the pineapple and throw it into a hot saucepan over medium heat.
Add the sugar and chillies, stir and cook for 30 minutes over medium heat
Add the oil, the lemon rind, the vinegar and the paprika. Stir, lower the heat to a minimum and let this dressing caramelize for about 30 minutes. Whisk with the mixer and reserve in a jar (See trick).
Clean the chicken wings, dry them and put them in a metal bowl. Add the baking soda and two or three tablespoons of the dressing to them.
