Equipment

1 air fryer
1 Bowl

Ingredients

1.5 lbs chicken wings
1 tbsp lemon pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/3 tsp salt

Honey Lemon Sauce

1 tbsp lemon zest
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp butter melted

Instructions

Air fryer - Preheat the air fryer to 380 F. Mix olive oil, salt and spices in a bowl. Blot wings skin dry with a paper towel. Transfer the wings to a bowl, mix so that each piece is covered with the olive oil blend. If desired, cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for half an hour. If you don't have time, keep going.
Spray inside of basket with non stick spray. Lay the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air Fry for 12 minutes. Flip the wings to the other side and fry for another 6-7 minutes until you have golden brown and crispy skin.
Melt butter in microwave, add lemon juice, honey and lemon zest in a bowl. Stir until incorporated. Transfer the hot wings to a deep bowl and cover them with honey sauce. Stir to coat each wing and enjoy.

Notes

Oven baked wings

Rinse and dry wings with paper towels well so skin is nice an dry. Grease a baking dish or line with non stick foil. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and seasonings listed above sauce ingredients. Arrange in the dish so they aren't overlapping. Melt butter in a dish, then add lemon juice, zest and honey. Whisk together.

Spread 1/2 of your sauce over the wings. Place in a preheated oven set to 375 degrees F and bake about 30 – 35 minutes or until inside meat reaches a minimum of 165 F and is pulling away from the bone.

For crispier skin you can switch to broil for 2-3 minutes or until it is as browned as you'd like. Brush other 1/2 of sauce on before broiling or after done.
