What is an Air Fryer?

An air fryer is essentially a compact countertop convection oven. A fan circulates the hot air at a quick speed which creates a crispy layer on foods without needing to fry in oil.

Are these wings spicy?

The lemon pepper gives the wings a zest but I do not consider them spicy. However, you could add some additional spices or serve them with a spicy dipping sauce if you want more of a kick.

Can this recipe be doubled?

Yes! I often make 2-3 pounds of wings to feed a crowd. But you will need to air fry them in batches. If you crowd your air fryer, instead of cooking in an even layer, the wings will not get as crispy.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Dry Wings. Pat dry the chicken wings and add to a medium bowl.
Toss Wings. Toss the dried wings with the olive oil, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to evenly coat.
Air Fry. Add to air fryer basket in an even layer (do two batches, if needed, see note). Air fry for 20 minutes at 375˚F, flipping halfway. After the time is up, the wings should be fully cooked (165˚F) and crispy. Depending on your air fryer and size of wings, you can raise the heat to 400˚F for 2-5 additional minutes to crisp up more. The wings should be crispy and golden.
Enjoy. Serve with dipping sauce of choice and enjoy!

Notes

If you air fry in batches, I recommend wiping out the grease in between to avoid smoking.
