Salt and Vinegar Wings
Description
Salt and Vinegar Wings feature chicken wings air fried until crispy and flavorful. The vinegar sauce is made by simmering white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper, then whisking in cold butter for richness and a silky texture. Wings are tossed in olive oil and seasoning before cooking in the air fryer, then coated with the tangy vinegar sauce and a bit more cider vinegar for balance. The result is a crispy, savory wing with a distinctive tang from the vinegar and a buttery finish.
This preparation emphasizes a combination of sharp acidity and savory seasoning complemented by gentle butteriness. The method uses an air fryer to achieve crisp skin without deep frying, making it a practical approach for home cooks.
Serve the wings immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy skin and zesty sauce. Leftover sauce can also be used for dipping. This dish works well as an appetizer or casual snack alongside other finger foods.
Use dry wings and pat them fully before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Adjust salt after tossing wings in the sauce to suit your taste. These wings store well in the refrigerator for several days and can be reheated in an air fryer to restore crispness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken wings flats & drumettes
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar divided
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt divided
- ½ teaspoon black pepper divided
- 2 tablespoons butter Cut into ½" cubes, cold
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a small skillet, combine white vinegar, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, garlic powder, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Simmer over medium heat for 2 minutes or until reduced by half. Turn off the heat and add the butter a little bit at a time, whisking until incorporated. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Pat the wings dry with a paper towel. Toss them with the olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 18-20 minutes until wings are crispy and cooked through.
- Remove the wings from the air fryer and toss them with vinegar sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar. Season with additional salt to taste if desired.
- Serve immediately. Leftover sauce can be used as a dipping sauce.
Notes
- Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Reheat wings in the air fryer until they are heated through to maintain crispness.
- You can toss wings with flour, baking powder, and seasonings before refrigerating uncovered for up to 4 hours to improve crispiness.
- As an alternative, bake wings at 425°F for 20 minutes, flip, then bake an additional 15-20 minutes; broil briefly if desired before tossing with vinegar sauce.
