Can I use frozen chicken wings?

Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings for this recipe. However, ensure that they are fully thawed first before deboning and marinating to ensure even cooking and full flavor absorption.

What type of shrimp paste should I use?

For this recipe, you can use store-bought shrimp paste, which is commonly available in Asian grocery stores. If you prefer homemade, blend shrimp with a pinch of salt until it forms a paste.

Can I bake these wings instead of using an air fryer?

Absolutely! You can bake these wings in a preheated oven at 375°F for 25-30 minutes. Just ensure an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.

How should I store leftovers?

Store leftover stuffed wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in an air fryer or oven for the best crispiness.

What dipping sauces pair well with these wings?

Delicious dipping sauces include sweet chili sauce, garlic aioli, or a zesty yogurt dip. These will complement the flavors of the shrimp filling and enhance your eating experience.
