For the topping

Instructions

  • If using air fryer, cook according to instructions for full chicken wings. I fried mine in my oven, that has an air fryer function, at 425°F for 20 minutes skin side down and the turned over and air fried for another 20 minutes, until the wings reached the golden color I wanted.

Seasoning the wings

  • Combine 2 tablespoon of olive oil with garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
  • Cover and marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Place wings, skin side down, on a lined baking sheet with a rack on top for best results. Cook for 25 minutes.

Start tomato basil dressing

  • In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, vinegar, basil, and remaining olive oil. Season to taste. Set aside.
  • Turn wings over and cook for another 20 minutes or until golden to your liking.
  • Once wings are done, place then in a serving dish. Pour the tomato dressing over the wings.
  • Top with chopped basil and enjoy!
