Spicy Crispy Air fryer Chicken Wings چکن ونگز recipe by morEwish

 

KFC style chicken wings with a crispy coating that cracks in your mouth, with amazing seasoning and taste and air fried! 

The first thing you are looking for is moist and juicy chicken. Wings are not the thickest of meats, and you want soft and juicy Kentucky Fried wings, that are not tough and dried after cooking. To ensure they stay juicy you will need to soak your chicken in vinegar bath. By soaking your chicken wings in vinegar bath, you give the crispy coating something to stick to. But perhaps more importantly vinegar is acidic. Acids tend to soften meats up and when they soak in, they break down the proteins ever so slightly meaning it eliminates chewiness. This also ensure that isn’t just the outer crispy coating that tastes good, the chicken inside will too.

The wings are so crispy on the outside but juicy and tender on the inside. You’ll never believe these weren’t cooked in a deep fryer! Cooking wings in an Air Fryer is a great way to save some calories because you don’t need to add any extra oil, but the wings taste as delicious as deep-fried. 

I will not recommend to stack wings in an air fryer. The whole concept works based on air flow, so foods touching or on top of each other will not get that. If you want the crispiest air fryer wings, do them in a single layer, in batches if you have to.
