S&V Wings for the Win
This recipe comes from our chicken wing obsession paired with my husband’s love for Salt & Vinegar chips!

- Salt and vinegar wings are popular at Buffalo Wild Wings, but this recipe makes a delicous homemade butter sauce.
- Cook them in the oven or air fryer to skip the deep frying and mess.
Ingredients for Salt and Vinegar Wings
Chicken – Use fresh split chicken wings (flats and drumettes). You can also use frozen wings, you’ll need to add 5-7 minutes to the cooking time.
Salt & Vinegar Sauce – Resembling a beurre blanc, this sauce is buttery, salty, and tangy – it’s literally finger lickin’ good! It’s made with seasonings and cubes of cold butter. The vinegar flavor comes from a combination of white vinegar and cider vinegar.
How to Make Salt and Vinegar Wings
Wings can be baked in the oven on a wire rack or cooked in the air fryer.
- Simmer the sauce ingredients in a pan and then whisk in cubes of cold butter until thickened. Set aside.
- Cook the wings as directed in the recipe below.
- Toss wings in vinegar sauce and remaining cider vinegar. Season with salt and serve hot.
Pro Tips for Perfect Wings
- Perfectly crispy wings start with a preheated air fryer so the initial burst of hot air circulates the food.
- It’s also important not to overcrowd the air fryer so the wings cook evenly all around. For extra crispy wings, place them under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
- Use parchment liners for easy cleanup!
- Keep salt and vinegar wings in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Enjoy them cold or reheat them in the air fryer until warmed through!
