Air Fryer Buttery Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings, split at joints, tips removed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Lemon wedges and chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken Wings:
   • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
   • In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until evenly coated.
2. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
3. Air Fry the Chicken Wings:
   • Place the seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.
   • Air fry the chicken wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. Prepare the Butter Lemon Sauce:
   • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
5. Coat the Chicken Wings:
   • Once the chicken wings are cooked through and crispy, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
   • Pour the melted butter lemon sauce over the chicken wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
6. Serve:
   • Transfer the buttery lemon pepper chicken wings to a serving platter.
   • Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley, if desired.
