That sounds delicious! Here’s a simple recipe for Air Fryer Buttery Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings:
Ingredients:
- 10-12 chicken wings (fresh or thawed)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 ½ tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prep the wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy.
- If you want, you can cut off the wing tips for a cleaner look, but it’s optional.
- Season the wings:
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Toss the wings in this mixture until they’re fully coated. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes if you have time, but you can also cook them immediately.
- Preheat your air fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Air fry the wings:
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the wings for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
- You can check for crispiness and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes if needed.
- Serve:
- Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and more lemon zest, if desired.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, or enjoy them as is. You can pair them with a side of veggies or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
