Instructions
1- Prep the Wings:
- In a large bowl, combine the white vinegar, lime pepper seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Mix until well combined.

3- Cook the Wings:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the wings with olive oil.
- Air fry for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
4- Finishing Touches:
- Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
- If desired, add chopped cilantro and toss the wings to evenly distribute the fresh herb.
- Serve hot with the prepared ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
