In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic puree, honey, soy sauce, Chinese 5 spice, and black pepper.
Mix well with a fork or spoon until the marinade is well combined.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and mix with your hands until the wings are evenly coated with the marinade.
Let them marinate in the refrigerator for about an hour.
After marinating, preheat your air fryer to 180°C (360°F).
Place the marinated chicken wings into a cake pan and transfer the pan into the air fryer.
Air fry the chicken wings for 22 minutes at 180°C (360°F), or until they are cooked through and crispy on the outside.
Once done, remove the chicken wings from the air fryer and serve hot.

Wine Advice:
Pair these flavorful chicken wings with a light and crisp beer such as a pilsner or a pale ale. Alternatively, a semi-dry Riesling or a sparkling wine would complement the sweet and savory flavors of the dish.
