    Make this Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Wings Recipe tonight! It is perfect for your next super bowl game day!

    What is Lemon Pepper Seasoning?

    Lemon Pepper seasoning is fantastic! You must stock it in your pantry if you've never tried it! 

    This dry rub of lemon pepper salt makes these wings bright and zesty tasting! 

    Lemon Pepper Seasoning is a black pepper blend with dried lemon peel, garlic powder, and onion powder for a fresh, zingy twist!

    If you are a chicken wing lover, why not try these Soy Garlic Chicken Wings or Phnom Penh Cambodian Fried Chicken Wings.

    How to Air Fryer Chicken Wings

    For this simple dry rub marinade, all you need is lemon pepper seasoning and extra salt. 

    No need for flour, baking powder or even potato starch to get your wings beautifully golden with an irresistible extra crispy skin!

    Place chicken wings and the seasoning in a resealable plastic bag (gallon-sized ziplock bag).

    Massage the chicken around the marinade to ensure it is evenly coated.  

    I usually prefer to let the fresh chicken wings marinate for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator. 

    If you are in a hurry and do not have time to marinate. Just pat the wings dry with paper towels and add lemon pepper seasoning and salt in a large bowl.

    EASY AIR FRYER LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS NOMSS

    Ingredients and Substitute

    • Whole Chicken Wings or Wingettes Flatties or Drummies
    • Lemon Pepper Seasoning
    • Kosher Salt
    • Lemon Zest

    Instructions

    Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

    Use air fryer parchment paper and line the bottom of the air fryer basket for easy clean-ups. 

    Place chicken wings in the basket of your air fryer basket. No need to brush with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. The chicken wings will give off enough oil for cooking.

    For even cooking, don't overcrowd the air fryer. Arrange the wings in a single layer.

    Depending on the air fryer model and the size of your air fryer, you can cook one pound of chicken wings in the air fryer in just 20 minutes of cooking time. I use THIS Ninja Foodi Air Fryer!

    Cook for 20 minutes at 400F until the crispy wings are golden brown or when the chicken is cooked until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Celcius or 329F. Check using a meat thermometer.

    Remember to flip halfway.

    Serve and enjoy!

    We love chicken wings. These crispy lemon pepper wings are so good you don't even need any dipping sauce like bbq sauce or melted butter! They are perfect for those on a keto diet!

    How To Reheat Crispy Chicken Wings

    Place wings in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    To make leftover fried chicken wings crisp again is simple. Reheat the leftover wings in the air fryer at 375F in a single layer for four minutes. Flipping halfway to ensure even cooking.
