Air Fryer Buttery Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings sound delicious! Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 10-12 chicken wings (drumettes or flats)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1-2 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning (to taste)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prep the Chicken Wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to help them crisp up in the air fryer.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Cook the Wings:
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for the crispiest result.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden and crispy on the outside, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Make the Lemon Butter Sauce:
- While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and lemon pepper seasoning. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Toss the Wings:
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a large bowl.
- Pour the lemon butter sauce over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley (if desired) and serve immediately.
These wings should come out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with a burst of lemony goodness and a buttery finish. Enjoy!
