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!

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.
