Ingredients You’ll Need for Salt and Vinegar Chicken Wings

Let’s talk about the ingredients you’ll need for these delicious wings. Each one plays a crucial role in bringing the Salt and Vinegar Chicken Wings to life. The combination of the savory seasoning with the tangy vinegar truly creates a unique flavor profile that’s hard to resist.

• 2 pounds fresh chicken wings (approximately 20 wings and drums): These are the main event! Choose wings that are plump and fresh.
• 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning blend: This will add a depth of flavor. The blend typically includes herbs and spices that complement the chicken beautifully.
• Nonstick cooking spray: A must for ensuring that the wings don’t stick to the baking sheet, helping achieve that perfect crisp.
• 3 tablespoons white distilled vinegar: This is the star of the show. It provides that tangy zest that makes these wings unforgettable.
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt: Just the right amount to enhance the wings’ flavor without overpowering it.

How to Cook Salt and Vinegar Chicken Wings

Cooking these wings is straightforward and rewarding. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to create something that tastes so good. Follow these steps carefully to achieve crispy and flavorful results!

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. This temperature is essential for achieving that perfect crispiness on the wings.

2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the seafood seasoning blend until they are evenly coated. Make sure every wing is covered; this is where the flavor starts.

3. Line a baking sheet with foil and apply a light coating of nonstick cooking spray. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.

4. Arrange the wings on the baking sheet in a single layer. Be sure they’re not touching so they cook evenly; this is crucial for crispiness!

5. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. At this point, they’ll start to smell amazing. Flip them over and continue baking for another 25 minutes until they are crispy and fully cooked. Look for a golden-brown color and crispy texture.

6. While the wings are baking, mix the white distilled vinegar and sea salt in a bowl. This mixture is what will give the wings their signature flavor.

7. Once the wings are done, toss them in the vinegar and salt mixture to coat evenly. This step is what sets these wings apart, so don’t skip it!

8. Serve the wings hot, accompanied by celery sticks if desired. The crunch of the celery pairs nicely with the tangy wings.
