Instructions

1. Prepare the Wings: Pat chicken wings thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture (this step helps achieve a crispier texture). Place wings in a mixing bowl.
2. Season the Wings: Drizzle olive oil over the wings and toss to coat. Sprinkle with garlic salt and lemon pepper, tossing again to ensure an even distribution of seasoning.
3. Air Fry: Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece for even cooking. Air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes, then flip the wings and cook for another 8 minutes, for a total of 16 minutes. Check for a golden-brown exterior and an internal temperature of 165°F.
4. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a minute. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as-is for a deliciously seasoned, crispy bite.

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Wings

• Dry Wings for Extra Crispiness: Patting the wings dry helps them crisp up beautifully in the air fryer. Removing as much moisture as possible is key!
• Single Layer Cooking: For best results, cook wings in a single layer with space between each piece. Overcrowding may lead to uneven cooking.
• Customize Seasonings: Adjust the garlic salt and lemon pepper to taste, or experiment with other seasonings like smoked paprika, cayenne, or chili powder.

Enjoy your crispy, flavorful wings with minimal prep and maximum flavor—no need to fire up the oven or a deep fryer!
