Brined Sous Vide Air Fryer Wings

I’ve been making wings in my air fryer for a bit now. They make for a great quick lunchtime meal, that’s for sure. But, I’m always on a quest for something different, a twist. Brining wings (or any poultry) helps tenderize the meat and keeps it juicy during the cooking process. Sous vide provides a perfectly-cooked, consistent dish that is amazingly tender. Combine those and cook the wings in the air fryer and wow! Crazy good brined sous vide air fryer wings!

It’s brine time!

I used a standard brining solution for my brined sous vide air fryer wings. You can add other ingredients if you want to infuse other flavors. Adding herbs, hot sauce or spices can make a big flavor impact. Try different combinations to see what you like. Not that there’s anything wrong with salt, sugar and pepper. Depending on which sauce you’re going to use on your wings, you might not want a strong wing flavor that ends up fighting with your sauce for taste.

My air fryer

The air fryer that I own doesn’t have a lot of bells (ok, it does have a bell) and whistles, but it makes for crazy good chicken wings.

Calories: 845kcal

Equipment

Ingredients

3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
¾ cup kosher salt
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 gallon water
Your favorite wing seasoning
Your favorite wing sauce

Instructions

In a large resealable container, combine the salt, sugar, pepper and water. Stir until the salt and sugar are well dissolved.
Add the wings. Cover and place in the fridge for 1-33 hours.
Set up your sous vide for 155 F.
Remove wings from brine. Shake off excess brine and transfer to a sealable bag. Vacuum seal making sure to remove all of the air.
Sous vide the wings for 3 hours.
Remove the wings from the sous vide bag and spread out on a sheet pan. Pan dry and transfer to the fridge overnight. This will let the skin dry to get crispier. If you are in a hurry you can skip this step.
Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 350 F.
Toss wings in your favorite seasoning. Lightly spray your air fryer basket with non-stick spray. Add to the air fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes. Flip and cook 6 more minutes. If the wings need to be crisper at this point, turn the heat up to 400 F and cook another 3 minutes.
Toss with sauce before serving. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.

Notes

You can do the final wing cook using whatever technique you prefer, and not just in an air fryer. Use my guide for cooking wings as a basis, but remember that the wings are already cooked. You are just warming them and crisping the skin. So whichever technique you use you won’t need as much time. I use a general rule of half the cook time as I’d need for raw wings.

Bloody Mary Wings

Sometimes a wing sauce is sooooo good you have to decide between using it on your wings or just drinking it straight up. Now, I didn’t use vodka or any other booze in this sauce, and honestly, it doesn’t need it. You get great Bloody Mary flavors with a hint of Buffalo sauce kick. It’s crazy good, and perhaps the best scratch-made wing sauce I’ve ever had.

If you prefer to add booze just put a splash or two of Vodka in the wing sauce. Or, if you prefer your wings ‘dry’, skip the sauce. The wings are absolutely divine seasoned with just the Bloody Mary seasoning mix, just add a few more pinches to the wings after they are cooked and toss.

A Different Kind of Wing

The idea for Bloody Mary wings hit me after making a batch of Bloody Mary glass rim seasoning. After tasting it I knew instantly that I needed to use it on wings. For the sauce you make your pretty standard Buffalo wing sauce with the addition of Bloody Mary seasoning and mix.

Beer-Battered Fried Smoked Wings

Was this necessary? Did I have to make beer-battered fried smoked wings? What??? We don’t ask silly questions like that here at For the Wing. Of course I had to make these! Are you kidding me? Look at them! Heck yeah it was a crazy idea. A crazy good one! Super-tasty lightly-smoky wings coated in a wonderful beer batter then fries up lightly crunchy and yummy! The question isn’t should I make these beer-battered fried smoked wings. The question is… how often should I make them!

A Total Taste Experience

Although these beer-battered fried smoked wings are not difficult to make, the taste and bite are amazing. You’d think that there’s a lot more going on than there is. The batter is wonderful. It’d be great on fish. Chicken planks. Broccoli. Anything. The wings have a wonderful smoky flavor while the meat is still moist and tender. These are great wings. And a real ‘wow’ moment when you serve them, too!

Keyword: deep-fried, smoked

Servings:

Calories: 638kcal

Equipment

Ingredients

For the smoked wings

3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
Buffalo wing seasoning
vegetable oil for frying

For the beer batter

2 cups all-purpose flour divided
1 ½ cups lager beer see note
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

Fire up your smoker for 225 F. Use any wood you like. I used Jack Daniel’s whiskey barrel chunks because I wanted a good, noticeable smoke flavor. Use a lighter wood if you want your wings to be a little less smoky.
Toss the wings with plenty of the Buffalo wing seasoning. When you think you’ve added enough, add more. This is not the time to be shy.
Place the wings onto the smoker and smoke for 2 hours. No need to rotate or flip them.
When done, remove from the smoker. You can deep fry them immediately or freeze them for thawing and frying later.
To fry, heat oil to 350 F.
In a small bowl or shallow plate, place the remaining 1/2 cup of flour.
Lightly toss the wings in the flour and shake off any excess.
Whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the beer along with the salt and smoked paprika in a large bowl.
Working in batches, dip in the batter.
Fry until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack or paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
Serve hot.

Notes

If you want a thicker batter on the wings, add a little less than the 1 1/2 cups of beer to begin with. Stir. If the batter is too thick add more beer.

Baked Thousand Island Wings

I had no idea really how much I’d enjoy these baked Thousand Island wings. I kind of have a thing about baked wings to begin with. And the ingredients for sauce, although each yummy on its own, seemed like one of most unusual combinations I’d ever seen. Well, let me tell you folks. You need to make these. And not like next month. Not even next week. Today. Now.

Yummy Sauce. Big Time Yummy.

Thousand Island dressing. Apricot preserves. Onion soup mix. Huh? But you know what, the sauce is AMAZING! I could drink this stuff. Literally. Heck I don’t even really like apricots and I would go for adding more to this sauce. It’s like the whole world turned on its side and my eyes (and mouth!) opened to great new flavors! I’ll definitely be making these baked Thousand Island wings again and soon.

Great Baked Wings???

I don’t usually like baked wings not because of how they taste but the texture is sometimes just not there for me. I like a clean bite-thru skin. I want a bit of color. And a bit of crunch. I actually got all those things with these wings.

If you’re looking to impress a crowd with super-flavorful wings that aren’t the usual Buffalo-flavored kind, make these and impress everyone!

Calories: 670kcal

Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup Thousand Island salad dressing
1 cup apricot preserves or jam
1 ounce onion soup dry mix 1 packet
6 chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dressing, preserves and onion soup mix until well combined and smooth.
Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. I found that a glass dish seems to work best.
Arrange the wings along the bottom of the pan. Do not let them touch or overlap.
Pour the sauce over the wings. Get it spread out evenly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil (but do not discard!). Return the pan to the oven and bake another 30 minutes.
Remove wings from oven and serve hot.
Optional: Spray the foil with non-stick spray on one side and transfer to a baking sheet. Transfer the cooked wings to the foil and place the pan under the broiler for 2-4 minutes (keep an eye on it!) to brown the wings and give them a bit of a crunch.

Notes

Try other flavors of jam for a different taste!

Baked Maple Glazed Wings

I admit it, I do sometimes dream of deep-fried chicken wings. I don’t dream about baked chicken wings. Or I didn’t until I made these baked maple glazed wings. I didn’t think the flavors of the simple seasoning and the easy glaze would work. I didn’t think I’d like them. In reality, I didn’t like them. I loved them. These are some of the tastiest wings I’ve had. I’ll make these again and again.

Flavor Galore

These baked maple glazed wings would be perfect for a party. You could make a big batch. They aren’t spicy, so they won’t scare off anyone. They’re lightly sweet. And they’re different. The oregano and nutmeg make for a fantastic marriage with the reduced balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. Honestly, I would make a double batch of the sauce. What’s the worst thing that can happen? That you’ll have some leftover for another batch of wings?!??!

Baked Coconut Mango Wings

I’m gonna be straight-up. I thought these baked coconut mango wings were delicious. I loved them. I’m not usually a big baked wings fan, but they were packed with island-inspired flavor with golden-brown lightly crunchy skin and moist, tender meat. It was the dipping sauce that threw me. Maybe it’s because 99% of the time I dip my wings in blue cheese or ranch salad dressing. I’m not sure, but I wasn’t a fan. I’d make these wings again, but I’d use the sauce as additional marinade instead. You might feel differently, but it’s my job to be up-front and honest.

Delicious… and Pretty

The gorgeous color on these baked coconut mango wings comes from the annatto in the Sazon seasoning. It’s the same stuff that’s used to color other foods, like making cheddar cheese orange. Yeah, it’s really white. Go figure. Why do orange-ish foods taste better? I’m not sure, but they do. And they look better too.

Ancho Peach Wings

I was sad. Sad because I definitely did not make enough wings. Tossed with ancho peach sauce, these wings were so good it would be almost impossible to eat too many. Slightly smoky. Slightly sweet. And a little heat. And the perfect consistency to stick to the wings and not to the bottom of the plate. Grab some napkins and get ready… there’s nothing but great stuff here!

Try different preserves

Apricot preserves also make for a great ancho wing sauce, so feel free to mix things up a bit. I strongly recommend doubling the sauce. Any leftover can be used on grilled chicken, smoked ribs, pulled pork, you name it. It’s just all-around great and not just on ancho peach wings.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Alfredo Chicken Wings

These Alfredo chicken wings are proof that sometimes its a good idea to step outside of your wing comfort zone and try something you’d never thought you’d try. Sure, I’m a big fan of chicken alfredo. It’s on my menu rotation often around here. But for some reason I’d never thought of saucing wings in that wonderfully creamy rich sauce. Well, let me tell you folks! These are great wings! Totally different. Totally great! And boy, talk about a ‘wow’ factor!

You can cook the wings any way you want. Oven. Deep fryer. Air fryer. It doesn’t really matter. Just get them in that delicious, creamy, rich cheesy sauce and get to eating! (And smiling!)

Homemade. Or From A Bottle.

I’ve included the ingredients and steps to make a quick and easy Alfredo sauce from scratch. And it’s great stuff on these Alfredo chicken wings. But you don’t have to make your own if you don’t want to. Just grab a bottle of your favorite sauce from the store and warm it up. Boom. Instant creamy wing sauce. Who knew?

Just A Tad, Thanks

Now, I like a good bit of sauce on my chicken alfredo. But on my wings, I went a bit lighter. I still wanted to taste that delicious wing. Next time, I might serve a little extra warmed sauce on the side, for dipping. Heck, ‘might’ nothing. I will.

For the wings

Note: These instructions are for cooking the wings in the oven. You can cook the wings any way you like, like in an air fryer or deep fryer, and coat in the sauce before serving.
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Season the wings with salt and pepper. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick spray.

Notes

You can substitute 2 cups of store-bought Alfredo sauce. Just warm it slightly while the wings are cooking.

If you like your wings extra saucy you may want to double the sauce recipe. You can always use any leftover sauce (if there is any) over pasta.

Alabama White Sauce BBQ Wings

Alabama white sauce is the kind of BBQ sauce that I thought was a bit odd at first. I love mayonnaise, but in a BBQ sauce? Huh? Vinegar, yeah, I get that. But the mayonnaise threw me, even though I’m a mayo-holic. But like a good lil trooper, I tried it and boy did I love it. Do love it. I’ve made my own a few times, but I recently discovered Duke’s Alabama style white southern dipping sauce and it’s one that I really really like, so that’s what I put on my Alabama white sauce BBQ wings!

Go easy on the sauce

I like my Alabama white sauce BBQ wings just lightly sauced. Too much and I start to think I’m having potato salad. Or a creamy macaroni salad. The sauce has a great flavor, but there’s no need to go crazy with it. That’s just my opinion, of course. You can always put some sauce on the side for dipping your chicken wings.

Air Fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Seasoning Dry Wings

Yer derned tootin’ I was heavy handed when I seasoned these air fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo seasoning dry wings. I love this seasoning. I am never shy with how much I use. These wings made for the perfect lunch. Dry wings rock. If you’ve never tried them, you should. The right seasoning on a wing can make for a wonderful eating experience. I’ll put dry wings up against any wet wings any day of the week. They’re both great.

Bring the Flavor. And More.

These air fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo seasoning dry wings start out with a bit of a heat when you take a bite. Right up front. Oh, it’s not overly spicy. Not at all. Just a nice little kick to let you know it’s there.

Then comes the flavor. And lots of it. Garlic. Cayenne. And I swear butter. This is like having a Buffalo wing without having sauce all over your hands and face. Instead, well.. you’ll have seasoning all over your hands and face! Still a win win!

If you want (and you do), don’t be afraid to triple-season your wings. Once before cooking (just a little). Then toss them in more seasoning after cooking (a good dose). And finally, sprinkle them with some more (another good dose). You’ll thank me!

Frank's RedHot Buffalo Seasoning

Instructions

Season the wings with the Frank's RedHot Buffalo seasoning. Don't go crazy with it. You want enough to taste the great flavors, but don't drown the wings in it.
Place wings in fridge for 30 minutes.
Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation to 350 F.
Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!).
Cook wings for 12 minutes.
Flip the wings and cook another 12 minutes.
Increase the air fryer temperature to 400 F and cook another 6 minutes.
Remove wings from fryer and place in a bowl. Toss with more seasoning, to taste. Now's a good time to not be shy with the seasoning.
Let cool slightly (the wings will crisp as they cool) then serve.

Notes

Note: The full 30 minute cook time is for large, meaty wings. If your wings are a bit thinner (er… scrawny) back the times down to 10/10/4 minutes instead of 12/12/6 minutes.
