Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings patted dry
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt or as per taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons melted butter unsalted
2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning I used Lawry's

Instructions

Stir together all purpose flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl, add chicken wings and toss until thoroughly combined.
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Add the wings in a single layer and cook for 15 minutes.
👉 I skip flipping — it gives the wings a better color and an ultra-crispy skin that’s hard to beat!
When cooking time is done, increase temperature to 400°F and continue cooking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked through.
Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl and toss immediately with melted butter and lemon pepper seasoning. Stir well until evenly coated. Serve right away!

Notes

Seasoning – I used Lawry’s and used 2 tablespoons of seasoning for 2 pounds since we love a well-seasoned wing! However, you could use your favorite brand and the quantity that you like.

Do not overcook – Remove wings as soon as they are done cooking. Cooking them longer than needed might make them dry out and not be as juicy.

Air Fryer size – We used 6-quart Instant vortex air fryer and was able to cook 2 pounds wings in a single layer. If you have a smaller air fryer then we recommend cooking in two batches or you simply want to cook only a pound of wings then here are the instructions.
