Chicken wings will always be a fan favorite. But no one wants to fry chicken over the stove. Luckily, there's no need to grab a pot of hot grease to fry chicken wings. Instead, you can 'fry' chicken wings in the air fryer. You will still get all the lemon pepper flavor and, more importantly, crispy chicken wings. These air fryer lemon pepper chicken wings are coated with lemon pepper and smoked paprika and cooked until golden and crisp. But why stop there? We added a lemon pepper butter sauce to add extra flavor to the chicken wings. Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings are the perfect keto recipe.

Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings

If the chicken wings are not separated, separate the drummettes from the flats. Then, remove the tips from the flats.

Increase the air fryer's temperature to 400 °F and cook the chicken wings for 3-5 minutes until crispy.

Whisk the melted butter, lemon pepper seasoning, and sugar-free sweetener in a large bowl.

Add the chicken wings and stir to combine or until coated. Serve the lemon pepper chicken wings with ketchup if desired.
