Instructions
Preparation Steps
Clean and pat dry the chicken wings thoroughly.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with lemon pepper seasoning, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Air Fry the Chicken Wings
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the lemon juice, honey, and lemon zest. Heat until just combined.
Combine and Serve
Once the wings are cooked, place them in a large bowl and pour over the lemon butter sauce. Toss to coat thoroughly.
Serve immediately. Garnish with additional lemon zest if desired.
Notes
For added richness, drizzle extra honey over the wings just before serving.
