Step-by-Step Instructions:

Preheat the Air Fryer:

• Preheat the Modern ChefElect Digital Air Fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.

Prepare the Chicken Wings:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
• Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade.

Air Fry the Chicken Wings:

• Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching or overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches.
• Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time. This will ensure they cook evenly and become crispy on all sides.

Check for Doneness:

• After 25 minutes, check the internal temperature of the chicken wings. They should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.

Crisp the Wings (Optional):

• If you prefer extra crispy wings, you can air fry them for an additional 3-5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) after they have reached the desired internal temperature.

Serve:

• Once done, remove the crispy lemon pepper chicken wings from the air fryer.
• Serve hot, garnished with additional lemon zest and chopped fresh parsley if desired.
• These wings are delicious on their own or served with a side of ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.

Enjoy!

• These Crispy Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings are ready to be enjoyed as a zesty and flavorful appetizer or main dish.
• Serve them up for game day, parties, or a delicious dinner option that's sure to impress!

Tips:

• For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mixture.
• Make sure to space out the chicken wings in the air fryer basket to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
• Experiment with different herb combinations to customize the flavor to your liking.
