CAN YOU PUT ALUMINUM FOIL IN AN AIR FRYER?

Yes, you can put aluminum foil on the top of your air fryer basket.  I don’t normally use aluminum foil because I prefer to use parchment paper.

CAN I BAKE THESE IN A TRADITIONAL OVEN?

Yes, you can bake these lemon pepper chicken wings in the oven. The only thing is that it takes a long time. When you use the oven it takes about 45- 60 minutes on 400 degrees.

The good thing is you get the same great flavor!

WHAT DO I SERVE WITH AIR FRYER LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS?

You can serve these with anything you like. As an appetizer, our family eats them with a side of ranch.

When we have them as the main course we have them with a salad or a side of rice and drizzle the lemon butter sauce on the rice.

TIPS FOR MAKING AIR FRYER LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

  • Preheat your Air Fryer.

  • Make sure you dry your wings as much as you can with paper towels before seasoning the chicken.

  • Check your wings after 18 minutes because air fryers slightly vary with their temperatures.

  • To ensure they are crispy on both sides flip the chicken wings halfway through the cooking process.
