Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- your favorite brand of lemon-pepper seasoning season to taste
- 2 lbs fresh chicken wings
- 1 tbsp olive oil *or olive oil cooking spray for newer model air fryers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, generously toss wings with lemon pepper to coat (the amount is up to you...we like a lot of seasoning).
- For The Actifry:
- Place wings in the air fryer with the tablespoon of oil and cook for 30-40 minutes (the Actifry cookbook says 25-30, but that wasn't at all done enough for us...we like the skin crispy!)
- For Newer Model Air Fryers (always check your appliance for recommended cooking instructions since they do vary):
- Spray wings with olive oil cooking spray (you can also brush the oil on the wings with a pastry brush) and toss with lemon pepper to coat.
- Place wings in the air fryer basket, leaving space in between the wings to circulate air.
- Cook at 400 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes.
Notes
- Don't have an air fryer? No worries, you can make these wings in the oven. Just toss wings in olive oil and sprinkle generously with lemon pepper. Bake at 425 degrees F for 30 minutes, turn and cook 15 minutes more until crispy. Serve and enjoy.
