1️⃣ Prepare the Wings:

Pat the chicken wings dry using a paper towel.

Season the wings evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spray lightly with avocado oil for extra crispiness.

2️⃣ Bake the Wings (Option 1):

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a cooling rack on top.

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.

Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

3️⃣ Air Fry the Wings (Option 2):

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Air fry for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.

4️⃣ Make the Sticky Glaze:

In a large skillet, combine the sweet Thai chili sauce and ketchup.

Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and begins to caramelize slightly.

5️⃣ Coat the Wings:

Add the cooked wings to the skillet and toss them until they are evenly coated in the sticky glaze. Let the sauce caramelize further on the wings for 1-2 minutes.

6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:

Transfer the wings to a serving platter and enjoy immediately. Serve as is or pair with your favorite dipping sauce or sides.
