Crispy, golden air fried chicken wings tossed in a bold and tangy octo vinaigrette - a lighter take on the classic with all the crunch and none of the grease.
Why You'll Love Air Fried Chicken Wings w/ Octo Vinaigrette
These wings are everything - ultra crispy, perfectly seasoned, and tossed in a deeply flavorful octo vinaigrette. The air fryer keeps them light, while the octo vinaigrette packs a punch of umami, heat, and sweetness. It's finger-licking goodness without the guilt.
Tips and Tricks
- Crispier Wings: Let the wings rest uncovered in the fridge for 1 hour before cooking to further dry out the skin.
- Extra Heat: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the octo vinaigrette for an extra kick.
- Air Fryer Variations: Adjust cooking time based on air fryer size and model.
Variations
- Sweet & Spicy: Add 1 tablespoon honey to the octo vinaigrette for a sticky, sweet finish.
- Citrus Kick: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the wings just before serving for a zesty punch.
- Herb Infusion: Add a sprig of fresh cilantro to the vinaigrette for an herbaceous note.
Substitutions
- Avocado Oil: Use canola or vegetable oil.
- Rice Wine Vinegar: Substitute with white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- Sesame Oil: Omit or use a few drops of toasted sesame seeds.
Best served with
- Pickled Vegetables with Ginger and Garlic
- Crunchy Cabbage Slaw with Sesame Dressing
- Steamed White Rice with Scallions and Lime
- Ice-cold Lager or a Spicy Ginger Ale
How to Store Leftovers
- Store wings and vinaigrette separately in airtight containers.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Reheat wings in the air fryer at 375°F for 5-7 minutes until crisp.
