Servings: 2
Ingredients
For Your Chicken
- 1.5 to 2 pounds chicken wings we're using flats
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour you can sub for baking powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- pinch of garlic powder
For Your Lemon Pepper Sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning or lemon zest and fresh pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne powder
- zest of 1/2 lemon
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
- chopped parsley to toss at serving
Instructions
- Dry your chicken. Toss your chicken wing flats with olive oil, flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set aside.
- Place your wings in the air fryer at 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes (depending on your air fryer!) flipping halfway through. I like mine a little more on the crispy side, so I'll check in on them, give them a toss, and let them crisp up to my liking.
- Alternatively, you can fry these in oil of your choice if you don't have an air fryer.
- While your chicken is in the fryer, make your lemon pepper sauce. In a sauté pan, melt butter on low heat (you don't want browned butter) with lemon pepper seasoning, chili powder, lemon juice, salt, pepper and lemon zest until all melted and incorporated. Toss over your wings until fully coating, finish with chopped parsley and serve.
