Chicken Wings

Might be the reason we got an air fryer in the first place. And man, was it worth it!

• Ingredients:

  • 2 lb mixed chicken wings (1 bag wings, 1 bag drum sticks)

  • 1 Tbs baking powder

  • S&P

• Frozen: Put into pressure cooker, high for 10 min. Let release naturally.

  • Drain and pat wings fully dry. Mix 1 Tbs baking powder, S&P into a large mixing bowl. Cover wings, and put into air fryer

  • Air Fryer: 400F (or highest setting) for 15+ min. halfway, mix wings around.

• Fresh: Drain and pat wings fully dry. Mix 1 Tbs baking powder, S&P into a large mixing bowl. Cover wings, and put into air fryer

  • Air Fryer: 250F for 15 min, then 400 (or highest setting, 15+ min)

  • Other site says cook at 375F for 25 minutes, then 5+ min @ 420F until crispy

While chicken is cooking, prep the sides:

• Ingredients:

  • 3+ cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

  • Carrots, skinned, chopped into matchsticks

  • Celery, chopped into matchsticks

• Chop the garlic, then rest of the veggies ( to give garlic time to activate).

• Cook down the butter, (reserve half for the honey ones), and throw in the garlic in the remaining butter to cook down

• Pick two of the toppings below, and divide the butter/garlic between two large bowls. Add in seasonings as you wish

• Once wings are ready and still hot, dip in toppings! Serve immediately
