Wings are one thing I think many people can agree on. It's one of those things I think everyone can enjoy a plate full of with an array of dipping sauces.
I have a couple of my favorite types of wings I make that I serve with different dipping sauces I purchase, all made in the air fryer, but these wings can also be served with my Cilantro White sauce.
Let's get back to wings. They can be made super simple with basic ingredients, or jazzed up a bit like this one is.
​
Now there may be several different ingredients and a couple steps to making this - mainly marinating - however it is so worth it, and the steps themselves are pretty simple.
​
Using fresh herbs, garlic, onions make these wings burst with amazing flavors that coat each wing. We will be using our blender to make this super easy.
FRESH FLAVOR
Fresh herbs, onions and garlic are what makes these wings special!
Many wings' recipes have the wings covered in dried spices, which is great because I definitely have recipes where I used a dried rub, however fresh is the way to go!
We are making this simple by blending all our fresh ingredients together in our blender, then marinating our wings. Marinating you wings can be done overnight in the refrigerator, or on the counter for an hour or two.
Cilantro is one of those herbs which I am, however, I do know many people do not like the flavor, so if that is you don't worry! You can leave it out and add parsley or any other herbs that are your favorite.

BUTTER
Using our air fryer requires some sort of fat to coat our chicken. It is after all "frying" our chicken but without all the excess oil. The airfryer itself circulated the hot air around the food which lends to the crispy texture we are desiring. The thin layer of oil coats the sruface of the chicken, leading to easier tranfer of heat and even browning.
Butter however has a richer flavor and enhances the taste of the chicken. It creates a toasted layer of flavor, which not only lends to the cripsyness of the wings but also lends to the amazing flavor in these wings!
You can check out my whole chicken in the air fryer recipe for more information on using butter to coat your chicken!
To make this super simple and time efficient we will be using a small kitchen blender. If you don't have one you can use a grater and also finely chop the herbs.
​
1. Melt one stick of butter (salted or unsalted) in the microwave or on the stovetop.
2. In a small kitchen blender add in chopped onion, garlic cloves , cilantro, rosemary, thyme and lemon juice(no seeds).
​
3. If needed add a couple tablespoons of water to blender to help blend everything until nice and smooth.
​
4. Add blended mixer to melted butter.
​
5. Measure out poultry seasoning, salt and pepper and stir together with butter and herb seasoning mixture.
​
6. Pour and rub all over your chicken wings and set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
​
7. Place wings on air fryer rack and air fry for 15 mins on one side at 350 F - 375 F
​
8. Carefully flip each wing after 15 mins, place back in for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
​
9. Remove from Air fryer and enjoy with my Cilantro White Sauce for dipping.
