Start by seasoning the wings with a tablespoon of kosher salt, a tablespoon of chili powder, a tablespoon of paprika, a tablespoon of garlic powder, a half tablespoon of onion powder, a teaspoon of coriander, a teaspoon of cumin, a teaspoon of dried oregano, a half teaspoon of dried thyme, and a half teaspoon of ground black pepper.

Mix the seasoning together.

Place the chicken wings on a sheet tray and drizzle with olive oil, then massage the seasoning into the wings.

Layer the wings in an even layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary.

Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook the wings for 10 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes.

For extra crispiness, cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Once the wings are done, place them on a sheet tray to keep warm in an oven set at 250°F.

In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of ketchup, a whole bottle of Malta India, 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, 4 oz of bonio, 2 tablespoons of Lisano salsa, some chipotle peppers, and a tablespoon of mustard.

Stir the ingredients and heat over medium until everything dissolves and thickens into a barbecue sauce.

Take about 10 wings and drizzle the Malta barbecue sauce over them, tossing to coat.
