Air Fryer Chicken Wings (Lemon Pepper)

Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken wings (about 10 wings) (wingette and drummette separated)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ cup melted butter or ghee
• ½ tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from half the zested lemon)
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

Steps

1. 1

   Prep the wings. Preheat the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes at 390℉ (200℃). Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel, and place them in a mixing bowl. Toss the wings with the oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt.

2. 2

   Air fry. Place the wings in an even layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through or shaking and tossing the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.

3. 3

   Make sauce. While the chicken wings are cooking, prepare the lemon pepper sauce. Stir together the warm butter, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt.

4. 4

   Serve the chicken wings along with the dipping sauce. Alternatively, you can toss the chicken wings in a little bit of the sauce before serving.
