Ingredients
Instructions
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning: In a bowl, combine the grated lemon zest, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and white pepper. Mix well to create your homemade lemon pepper seasoning.
- Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, mix the chicken wings with the lemon pepper seasoning, garlic granules, baking powder, corn flour, oil, and salt (if not using store-bought lemon pepper seasoning). Ensure the wings are evenly coated.
- Air Frying: Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they aren't too crowded so they get crispy. Cook at 200°C for about 20 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through for even cooking, until they're golden brown and crispy.
- Lemon Pepper Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon pepper seasoning, honey, and mayo. Mix well to create the tangy and flavorful lemon pepper sauce.
- Coating the Wings: Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the lemon pepper sauce over the wings and toss them gently to coat evenly.
- Serve: Arrange the coated wings on a serving platter and garnish with additional lemon zest and parsley, if desired. These zesty lemon pepper wings are now ready to be savored!
