Air-Fryer Lemon-Pepper Chicken Wings

Why This Recipe Works

Once you make chicken wings in your air fryer, you may never go back to conventional frying or oven roasting again. With their delicate skin and paper-thin layer of fat, chicken wings are a perfect candidate for air frying. In the intense, evenly circulating heat, the fat renders as the skin crisps, then conveniently accumulates at the bottom of the air fryer without smoking up your kitchen. Rather than toss our wings in gloppy, sugar- or fat-heavy sauces, we tossed them with a superflavorful combinations of simple lemon and pepper with herbs. These ingredients add a lot of zing to the wings without compromising their perfectly crisped exteriors.
