The South, particularly the A, is famous for our lemon pepper and our hot wings, extra wet. The only thing better is both, together, and I decide to make them in the air fryer with the best damn ranch you’ve ever had in your life. There are several different ways to make the perfect chicken wing, but this way was quick from frozen and hit the late night spot! If you try my recipes, tag me on social media and let me know how it was. I’m not hard to find.

Wing Base

Step 1

This recipe accommodates cooking in a Foodi, but it can be easily adjusted for a more basic air fryer or even an oven. Add your brine to the Foodi pot. You can use just water, but a brine that contains salt, acid, sweet, and heat is much more flavorful. Add your frozen wings to the slotted inner pot and pressure cook on high for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Once pressure cooker timer is done, release the steam and then remove the top. Place cooked wings in a mixing bowl and season with your favorite seasonings. Lightly brush with oil or spray with cooking spray. Add back to pot and air fry at 375ºF for 20 minutes, flipping and agitating halfway through. Prepare your toss sauce.

Best Damn Ranch Dressing Ever

Step 3

While pressure cooking, prepare your ranch dressing. Combine mayo, sour cream, dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper well. Ass a splash of water, buttermilk, or pickle juice to get the desired consistency. Chill.
