Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

  • 5 lbs chicken wings
  • salt, pepper, garlic powder
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp chii powder*
  • couple dashes of hot sauce optional

Instructions

  • Season both sides of wings with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place wings in gallon size freezer bags, fill each bag about half way with apple cider vinegar. Add apx 1/2 t of red pepper flakes, 1 t chili powder, and if using a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce. Remove as much air from bag and add more vinegar if you need.
    Marinate at minimun 6-8 hours, I think the longer you allow to steep in the vinegar spice mixture the better, up to 48 hrs.
    Work in batches leaving room for air to circulate, preheat a warm oven 250, line a rimmed cookie sheet or casserole dish with parchment. Place cooked wings in warm oven and DO NOT cover!! You don't want them to steam themselves! Depending on the size and power of your air fryer it will take 7-12 mins to cook each batch. I like to flip after 4-5 mins to get a really nice crisp all over. You'll have to watch them to know what is the right timing for your air fryer.

Notes

*have you seen the new Chili Lime Spice from Trader Joe's I have even seen this at Wally now and think this would make a tasty wing!!
