Instructions

1. Put the wings in one layer in a dish or the widest bowl you have. Add the Maggi and fish sauce, toss for about a minute, then marinate at least 20 minutes or overnight.
2. Sift half the flour over the wings and toss. Sift the rest over them and toss briefly so each wing has a light, tacky coating.
3. Oil the air fryer rack. Place the wings skin side up in the basket without crowding, in 2 batches if needed. Brush or spray with oil and air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until cooked through and well browned. Do not flip. Put the cooked wings in a bowl.
4. Make the sauce: in a small bowl, stir the Maggi, oyster sauce and water until the oyster sauce dissolves.
5. Finely chop the cilantro stems, keeping the leaves aside. Pound the stems, garlic and white peppercorns into a fine paste in a mortar, or press the garlic, grind the pepper and mince the stems finely.
6. Heat a wok on medium, add the oil and the paste, and stir for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden and fragrant.
7. Add the liquid mixture and palm sugar. Boil about 1 minute until the sugar dissolves and the sauce reduces slightly, crushing any lumps. Take off the heat.
8. Once the wings are cooked, reheat the sauce on medium until boiling. Add the wings with their juices and toss quickly with 2 spatulas until coated and no sauce pools; the sauce should thicken slightly. Remove from heat.
9. Chop the cilantro leaves, sprinkle over the wings and serve with jasmine or sticky rice if you like.
