Ingredients for Salt and Vinegar Wings

Chicken – Use fresh split chicken wings (flats and drumettes). You can also use frozen wings, you’ll need to add 5-7 minutes to the cooking time.

Salt & Vinegar Sauce – Resembling a beurre blanc, this sauce is buttery, salty, and tangy – it’s literally finger lickin’ good! It’s made with seasonings and cubes of cold butter. The vinegar flavor comes from a combination of white vinegar and cider vinegar.

Pro Tips for Perfect Wings

Perfectly crispy wings start with a preheated air fryer so the initial burst of hot air circulates the food.
It’s also important not to overcrowd the air fryer so the wings cook evenly all around. For extra crispy wings, place them under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
Use parchment liners for easy cleanup!
Keep salt and vinegar wings in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Enjoy them cold or reheat them in the air fryer until warmed through!
