Peperoncini Chicken Wings

Apr 22

Being a fan of all things pickled and lovin’ great wings, why not combine the two?!

These peperoncini chicken wings are easy to make and a fun change from some of the more traditional flavours. Not to mention, this recipe is a great way to use up that leftover jar of pickled peperoncinis. 😆

Ingredients

1.3 kg (about 2.8 lbs) chicken wings
Dozen pickled peperoncinis, sliced
1/4 cup peperoncini pickling juice
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
Optional, for garnish: 3-5 pickled peperoncinis, sliced

Directions

In a large bowl or container, combine the chicken wings with the sliced peperoncinis, pickling juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 min.

Remove from the fridge, uncover, then add ground cumin and toss.

Once well combined and transfer all ingredients to air fryer. Air fry at 400F for 25-30 min, flipping or tossing the chicken wings halfway.

NOTE: If you prefer your wings crispier and depending on your air fryer, you may wish to air fry an additional 5-10 min. This recipe also works in the oven, baked at 400F, flipping the chken wings halfway.

Optionally, to serve, garnish with sliced peperoncinis, including any juices that were released when slicing them. Enjoy!
