Instructions

• Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
• Pat the 1.5 pounds chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
• Place the wings in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning; toss until the wings are evenly coated.
• If using, grate fresh lemon zest over the seasoned wings and toss once more to distribute.
• Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray (olive oil or avocado oil spray preferred) to prevent sticking.
• Arrange the wings in a single layer in the basket with space between pieces; avoid overcrowding. Work in batches if necessary.
• Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes. At the 10-minute mark, flip each wing (or shake the basket and reposition pieces) so the other side cooks.
• Cook for an additional 10 minutes. Check that the wings are golden brown and crispy.
• Verify doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) or that juices run clear. If needed, cook in 2–3 minute increments until done.
• Remove the wings, let rest 3–5 minutes, then serve.
