Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Wings

The air fryer is perfect for cooking chicken wings. The meat comes out tender and juicy while the skin is crispy and flavorful. Just add seasonings of your choice and cook for 20 minutes.

We love the flavors of lemon and pepper on our wings. They go so well with all kinds of sides, like this Carrot Apple Radish Slaw and Greek Lemon Potatoes Recipe – Authentic & Best Ever!

What To Do If the Chicken Wings Don’t Fit in the Air Fryer Basket?

If the wings don’t fit in a single layer laying down in the air fryer basket, set some upright against the sides of the basket. It’s very important that the wings are not on top of each other during air fryer cooking.

What Are The Two Types of Chicken Wings?

“Drums”- resemble small chicken legs, with one long bone running through the center. “Flats”- are flat in shape and contain two small bones. Many people prefer to eat “flat” wings as their surface area contains more crispy skin, seasoning, and sauce.
