How To Make Air Fryer Salt And Vinegar Wings

Air Fryer Salt and Vinegar Wings Recipe Tips
🍋 Adjust the Vinegar: For a more intense tang, add a little extra vinegar after cooking. Start with a small amount and adjust to your taste.
🥓 Use Fresh Wings: Fresh wings work best for achieving crispy skin. If using frozen wings, make sure to thaw them completely for even cooking.
⏲️ Check for Crispiness: Air fryer models vary, so check your wings halfway through cooking and flip them for even crispiness. If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
🌿 Season to Taste: Feel free to add your favorite seasonings like smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for extra flavor and a little heat.
🔥 Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: For the crispiest wings, ensure they’re in a single layer with some space between them. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking.
🧼 Clean Your Air Fryer: The vinegar can create some sticky residue, so clean your air fryer basket thoroughly after cooking to keep it in top condition.
Storing, Freezing & Reheating
📦 Storing: After the wings cool, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
❄️ Freezing: To freeze, arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 2-3 months.
🔥 Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for about 5-6 minutes until crispy and heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat in the oven at 375°F for 8-10 minutes.
What To Serve With Air Fryer Salt And Vinegar Wings
Air Fryer Salt and Vinegar Wings pair wonderfully with a variety of sides to complete your meal. Serve them alongside crispy fries or sweet potato fries for a classic pub-style combo.

For a lighter option, pair with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables to add a healthy touch to your meal. These wings are versatile and can easily fit into any casual gathering or dinner!
