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.

1 tablespoon Lemon Pepper Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Smoked Paprika

Lemon Pepper Sauce

3 tablespoons Butter, melted
1 teaspoon Lemon Pepper Seasoning
1 teaspoon Sugar-Free Sweetener

Instructions

Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings

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

Preheat the air fryer to 380 °F.

Toss chicken wings, lemon pepper seasoning, and smoked paprika in a large bowl.

Place the seasoned chicken wings into the air fryer's basket. Only fill the basket halfway.

Cook the chicken wings for 10 minutes. Shake the air fryer basket and cook the chicken wings for another 10-12 minutes.

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

Lemon Pepper Sauce

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.
