Instructions:
- Prepare the Wings:
- Pat Dry: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Drying the wings well ensures they become crispy when air-fried.
- Season the Wings:
- Mix Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the Wings: Toss the chicken wings with the olive oil to coat them evenly. Then, sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the wings and toss until they are well coated with the seasoning blend.
- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for about 3-5 minutes, depending on your air fryer model.
- Air Fry the Wings:
- Arrange Wings: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook: Air fry the wings at 360°F (182°C) for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time for even crisping. The wings should be golden brown and crispy.
- Check for Doneness:
- Ensure the wings are fully cooked with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C). The skin should be crispy and the meat tender.
- Serve:
- Garnish: Transfer the cooked wings to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
- Add Lemon: Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of fresh lemon flavor.
Tips:
- Seasoning: If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, you can use additional lemon zest in the seasoning mix.
- Crispiness: For extra crispiness, let the wings rest for a few minutes after air frying before serving.
- Air Fryer Batches: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure the wings cook evenly.
These Keto Lemon Pepper Air Fried Wings are perfect for a satisfying, low-carb meal or snack, delivering a burst of tangy lemon and savory pepper flavors with a crispy texture. Enjoy!
