Instructions

Buttermilk Bath

  • In a large bowl mix together Buttermilk, Apple Cider Vinegar, Chopped Habanero, and Salt. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add to the buttermilk. Add chicken wings to the buttermilk mixture. Cover and place in the refrigerator. Marinate chicken wings for at least one hour or up to 2 days. I prefer to marinate the wings overnight.

Air Fry Chicken Wings

  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray
  • Place the breaded chicken wings in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the wings (top and sides) with olive oil or butter cooking spray.
  • Air Fry the chicken wings at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Flip the wings and spray them with cooking spray. Air fry for an additional 5 minutes until the wings are golden brown and the internal temperature is 165 degrees.

Baking Chicken Wings

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Spray the baking sheet with a cooking spray like olive oil or butter spray
  • Place the breaded chicken wings on the baking sheet. Spray the chicken wings with olive oil or butter cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken wings are done. The internal temp of the wings should be 165 degrees.
  • Enjoy!!!!! We like to have a ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce.
