Instructions:
- Step 1: Prepare the Wings - Start by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is key to achieving a crispy exterior.
- Step 2: Make the Marinade - In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, ground black pepper, and onion powder. Whisk until well blended.
- Step 3: Coat the Wings - Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade. Toss them thoroughly until each wing is evenly coated with the mixture.
- Step 4: Preheat the Air Fryer - Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps to create a crispy texture right from the start.
- Step 5: Air Fry the Wings - Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through for even cooking.
- Step 6: Check for Doneness - Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the wings. They should reach at least 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Step 7: Serve and Enjoy - Once cooked, remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with extra lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure wings are completely dry before marinating.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes at 375°F (190°C) for best results.
