For those who don’t know, I am obsessed with chicken wings. See, I went to school in Buffalo, New York. Basically the home of the chicken wing! In fact, because of my time spent in Buffalo, I will never refer to chicken wings as “buffalo wings.” And, since my Buffalo days, not a lot of chicken wings in restaurants have gotten in ‘right.’ At least, not in my opinion. But using the air fryer and a secret little trick from my husband (I’ll share below), these Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings come out perfectly crisp!
What You’ll Need
First and foremost, you’ll need an air fryer with this recipe. If you don’t have one yet, I suggest a Ninja Foodi. Other than that, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 12 Chicken Wings
- 1/4 cup of Butter, melted
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- Salt + Pepper
- 1 and a 1/2 tablespoons of baking powder (the secret ingredient!)
- 1 lemon, squeezed/juiced and/or for garnish
That’s it! It’s truly easy peasy. And, while this recipe is for 12 wings, it can easily be doubled (or tripled!).
