Ingredients

🍗 1.5 lbs chicken wings
🍾 1/4 cup white vinegar
🍋 2 tablespoons lime pepper seasoning
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder
🧂 1 teaspoon sea salt
🌿 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
🫒 Olive oil spray

For the Ranch Dressing:
🥛 1/2 cup sour cream
🥄 1/4 cup mayonnaise
🥛 1/4 cup buttermilk
📦 1 packet ranch seasoning
🧄 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
🧅 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Instructions

1- Prep the Wings:

In a large bowl, combine the white vinegar, lime pepper seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Mix until well combined.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl, ensuring each piece is coated in the seasoning mixture. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

2- Prepare the Ranch Dressing:

In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and buttermilk. Whisk until smooth.
Add the ranch seasoning packet along with optional garlic and onion powders. Stir until the dressing is well mixed and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3- Cook the Wings:

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the wings with olive oil.
Air fry for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

4- Finishing Touches:

Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
If desired, add chopped cilantro and toss the wings to evenly distribute the fresh herb.
Serve hot with the prepared ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
