How to Make Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Wings

While this recipe is simple to throw together, you are going to want to make sure that you follow the ratios as closely as possible. This will help to ensure that you get that perfect balance of flavor.

  • To get started, you will want to use 3 lemons. Make sure that you finely zest them and squeeze the juices.
  • If you are not marinating the wings you will want to use 1 teaspoon of salt to season them. If you are taking the time to marinate them, you will not want to add anymore salt.
  • You will need at least 2 pounds of chicken wing sections, so make sure you check your local grocery store to ensure that is what they have to offer.
  • Place your chicken wings in a freezer bag and add the lemon juice. Seal tightly and place in a large bowl to protect from leaks.
  • Refrigerate overnight, turning the bag every once in a while.
  • To prepare the seasoning, combine the lemon zest, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.
  • If making the seasoning in advance, place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until needed.
  • When ready to cook, preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees.
  • Remove the chicken from the bag and pat dry using paper towels.
  • Brush the chicken with olive oil and rub with your seasoning.
  • Prepare your air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the chicken wings into the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between them for air circulation.
  • Cook the wings for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. The cook time greatly depends on the size of the wings themselves and the wattage of your air fryer.
  • Turn once.
