🥄 1/4 cup white vinegar
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🧂 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Wings

In a large mixing bowl, combine the white vinegar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed Mexican oregano.
Mix the wings in the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the wings in the basket of the air fryer, allowing excess liquid to drain.
Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, or until crispy and cooked through.

Add a little salt to taste.

Pour the sauce into a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.

4. Coat the Wings

Once the wings are done air frying, place them in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the warm tomatillo sauce over the wings.
Toss to coat evenly.

5. Serve

Serve the sauced wings hot.
Enjoy the rich flavor and tangy taste of the tomatillo sauce.

Cooking Tips

Adjust the number of jalapeños to control the spiciness of the sauce.
Pair with celery sticks and a creamy dip for a classic accompaniment.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
