Expert Tips
Expert Tip: Be sure to spread the wings are not touching and spread out in the air fryer for best results.
- Be sure to not flip the wings util they are almost cooked through, otherwise you may loose some of the lemon pepper coating.
- We use drums and flats, if using the whole wing, you will need to add on about 15 minutes cooking time. check the internal temperature of the chicken to be 165°F when cooking complete.
