Add the chicken wings to a large resealable plastic bag. Make sure to measure out 2 pounds of the wings and place them in the bag. The bag will make marinating easy and less messy.
Next, drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the wings. This will help the seasoning stick and create that crispy texture we love.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of lemon pepper seasoning, 2 teaspoons of ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. These spices will create a mouthwatering flavor profile.
Seal the bag without removing excess air, and shake it gently to coat the wings evenly in the seasoning. This step is crucial for flavor distribution.
Once coated, place the bag in the refrigerator to chill while you preheat your air fryer.
Preheat the air fryer to 360℉. This temperature is ideal for cooking the wings thoroughly while ensuring they get nice and crispy.
After preheating, place the wings in a single layer in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for the best results.
Cook for 18 minutes at 360℉, tossing the wings every 6 minutes. This will help achieve uniform crispiness.
Increase the temperature to 390℉ and cook for an additional 2 minutes. This will ensure the wings are fully cooked and extra crispy.
Once cooked, remove the wings from the air fryer and squeeze 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice over them before serving. This adds a fresh burst of flavor!
