Ingredients

  • 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken wing portions
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  • Start by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
  • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, ground black pepper, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.
  • Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade. Use your hands or tongs to toss the wings until they are evenly coated in the flavorful mixture.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispiness.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the wings in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded for even cooking.
  • Cook the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them to ensure they reach your desired level of crispiness.
  • Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Serve them hot with additional lemon wedges for squeezing on top. Enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings!
