Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken Wings Fresh or frozen, thoroughly thawed.
- 0.5 cup Buffalo Sauce Choose a brand that balances heat and flavor.
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Pepper Seasoning Enhances wings with a zesty flavor.
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Helps wings crisp up in the air fryer.
- 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor.
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly cracked, to taste.
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds a savory flavor base.
Cooking Spray

Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. If using frozen chicken wings, ensure they are completely thawed. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon pepper seasoning. Toss the wings thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook the wings for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, prepare the buffalo sauce by combining it with a splash of lemon juice.
- Once the wings are crispy and golden brown, remove them from the air fryer and toss them in the buffalo sauce.
- Serve your wings garnished with chopped fresh parsley or celery sticks on the side.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
