Step By Step

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.
