Sour Cream & Onion Chicken Wings

If you love sour cream & onion chips as much as I do, then you have to try my Sour Cream & Onion Chicken Wings! With football season in full swing, I decided to combine two of my favorite things. This is the ultimate game day dish. The Irish girl in me loves potato chips more than just about anything. I couldn’t believe that “it smells like the chips” (check out this video to see why!).

These wings are savory, flavorful, tasty, and super easy to make. All you have to do is season your wings, pop them into the air fryer, and pour the delicious butter sauce overtop. This will be a guaranteed touchdown and let’s be honest, food is truly the best part of football season. Hope you love them as much as we do!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings (chicken drumettes and wing flats)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• ⅓ cup sour cream
• 4 tablespoons onion powder, divided
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon, divided
• Zest of 1 lemon
• ½ cup parmesan, freshly and finely grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Step-By-Step Recipe Method

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, sour cream, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir or whisk to combine. (Note – I did this differently in my video because it was better for camera but definitely recommend mixing the sauce like this ahead of time to make coating the chicken MUCH easier!)
2. In a large bowl, add chicken wings and seasoned sour cream mixture overtop. Toss until evenly coated.
3. Air fry at 400 degrees for 16 to 20 minutes flipping halfway through (8 to 10 minutes on each side). For a conventional oven, bake at 425 degrees and for approximately 45 to 50 minutes flipping at the 30 minute mark.
4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and add lemon zest and the remaining 2 tablespoons of onion powder. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes and remove from heat.
5. In a large mixing bowl, add cooked wings, the butter sauce, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, parmesan, and chives. Toss to combine.
6. Serve and garnish with parsley. Enjoy!
