❤️ Why you'll love this recipe

  • Who doesn't love a good chicken wing?
  • Easy ingredients for delicious results.
  • Air frying is so much better for you.

Ingredients

Ingredients to make lemon pepper wings on a white table.

  • Bone in chicken wings, separated and discard wing tip - you can use other chicken parts but cooking times will need to be adjusted.
  • All-purpose flour - Those on Keto can use almond flour or no flour at all. Gluten-free flour can be substituted.
  • Lemon pepper seasoning - give the perfect kick of flavor to the wings.
  • Olive oil, we use just a bit to coat the wings to ensure the seasoning sticks and the skin gets crispy.
  • Unsalted butter, gives a nice glaze and flavor to the whole recipe.

Step 4: Place each coated chicken wing in the basket of your air fryer.

Step 5: Set temperature of the air fryer to 400F. Bake for about 30 minutes, turning halfway through.

Step 6: Once the wings are fully cooked, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and dredge each cooked chicken wing in the melted butter.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!

Recipe Notes:

  • Each air fryer is different, my wings are ready in about 30 minutes, with an internal temperature of 165°F.

Storage

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an air tight container.

You can freeze the lemon pepper wings for up to 4 months in a freezer safe bag. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat in the air fryer or oven at 340°F for about 10 minutes to warm the wings.

The wings can also be reheated in the microwave, follow the manufactures instructions to reheat the wings.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this seasoning on other chicken pieces?

Of course. This seasoning works on any type of chicken including breasts and legs, bone-in or boneless.

Are these wings low-carb?

While the wings are low in carbs. To be keto, all-purpose four cannot be used. Use almond flour or no flour for keto wings.
Feel free to use the directions for our dry-rub chicken wing recipe for keto wings.
