Air Fryer Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings are irresistible, crispy, and packed with flavor, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips removed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and olive oil. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches.
- Cook the wings for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- While the wings are cooking, prepare the hot honey sauce by mixing the honey, hot sauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
- Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the hot honey sauce over them. Toss until the wings are well coated.
- Serve the wings hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can pat the wings dry with paper towels before seasoning.
- Try adding different spices to the seasoning mix, such as cayenne pepper for heat or lemon pepper seasoning for an extra citrus kick.
