Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 1 lb chicken wings (ButcherBox wings recommended)
- 2 tbsp ButcherBox seasoning (any of your preferred rubs)
For Salsa Macha:
- 3 dried chiles (such as ancho, guajillo, or chipotle)
- 1/4 cup peanuts
- 1/4 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- 2 gloves garlic
- 1/4 cup cup cilantro (fresh, chopped)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1/2 cup hot oil (vegetable or olive oil)
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Season Wings: Toss chicken wings with ButcherBox seasoning and set them aside.
- In a dry pan, toast the dried chiles for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- While the chiles are cooling, chop the cilantro and green onions.
How to Cook
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place wings in a single layer and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
- In a food processor or blender, combine toasted chiles, peanuts, pepitas, garlic, cilantro, and green onions. Blitz until finely chopped. Add hot oil and vinegar, then pulse again to combine.
- Once wings are done, toss them in the salsa macha mixture, making sure each wing is well-coated.
- Serve immediately with extra salsa macha on the side for dipping.
