Double-bread the chicken
Lightly coat a June Air Basket with nonstick cooking spray and set it over a June Pan to catch any crumbs. Place one chicken wing in the bowl with the dry coating and roll it around until it is lightly but completely coated. Shake off any excess coating. Dip the chicken in the bowl with the wet coating and roll it around until it is completely coated. Allow excess egg white to drip back into the bowl. Dip the chicken in the dry coating again, rolling it around until it is completely coated. Shake off any excess coating and place the chicken in the greased June Air Basket set over the June Pan to catch any crumbs. Repeat with the remaining chicken wings.

Spray with cooking spray
Generously spray the tops of the chicken wings with nonstick cooking spray. The oil will help to brown the chicken.

Air fry the chicken
Slide the June Air Basket into the middle shelf position with a foil-lined June Air Basket in the bottom shelf position. Air fry the chicken 15 minutes. June will notify you when the chicken is ready to flip.
Make the ginger-garlic oil
While the chicken cooks, heat the oil until shimmering in a small skillet set over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, sliced jalapeño and salt. Stirring frequently, cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

3 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon grated ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup jalapeno slices
Flip and oil the chicken
Slide the June Air Basket from the June Oven and set on a June Pan or cooling rack. Keep the June Oven hot by pressing the button below. With a flip spatula or tongs, flip each chicken wing. Some of the coating may stick to the air basket when you flip them, this is ok. Spray the wings again with nonstick cooking spray.

Air fry the other side
Rotating the June Air Basket 180° from its original position, slide the side that was facing the glass door into the June Oven first. Continue to air fry 15 more minutes, until the wings are golden brown and crispy. If needed, follow directions on your June to keep cooking.
Serve the chicken
Remove the chicken from the June Oven. Transfer the pieces to a platter and drizzle with ginger-garlic oil, evenly scattering the garlic, ginger and jalapeños over the wings. Finish with freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
