2 pounds chicken wings, rinsed under cold water and patted dry
Curry Paste, recipe follows
1/2 cup rice flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Sauce, recipe follows
Honey, for drizzling
1/4 cup sliced peeled fresh ginger or galangal
1/2 cup garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup sliced shallots
1/2 cup red dried chiles, stemmed
4 makrut lime leaves, torn, or finely grated zest of 2 limes
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh lemongrass
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro
2 fresh red Thai chilies, chopped

Steps:

In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with about 1/2 cup curry paste until well coated. Sprinkle with the rice flour and baking powder and toss again to coat evenly.
Put the wings in the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 400 degrees F. Cook for 25 minutes flipping the wings halfway through. Increase the temperature to 425 degrees F (or the highest setting) and bake until the skin is crispy and brown and the wings are cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
Remove the wings from the air fryer and transfer to the bowl with the sauce; toss well.
Transfer the wings to a platter and drizzle with a touch of honey. Serve immediately.
Combine the ginger, garlic, shallots, chiles, lime leaves, lemongrass, salt, sugar, fish sauce, white pepper and vegetable oil in a food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside until ready to use or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, scallions, cilantro and chiles in a large bowl and mix until the honey is dissolved. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.
