Instructions
Pre heat your air fryer.
Pat the wings completely dry with a paper towel. This will help them get crispy while cooking. If using full wings be sure to cut the drum and wing from each other.
Season the wings generously with salt and 3 Tbsp. lemon pepper seasoning. Be sure to coat all sides of the wings.
Spray the air fryer pan with non stick spray and add the wings in a single layer, not overlapping. You may need to do the wings in multiple batches.
Air fry the wings at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 mins. Flip and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes until extra crispy. Repeat the steps for the second batch as needed.
After you flip the wings start making your sauce. In a small sauce pan add all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Be sure to stir often so the sides of the sauce do not burn. Once boiling bring to simmer and let simmer until ready to toss the hot honey lemon pepper wings.
Remove the wings from the air fryer and place in a large bowl. Pour the sauce on top and remove the wings to serve. Pour remaining sauce over top of the wings.Optional but a suggested delicious addition, add lemon zest and finely chopped parsley to the wings. Serve with ranch on the side of drizzled on top and enjoy your Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Wings.
