Hey everybody chef laureus here do you love chicken wings we love chicken wings around here but you know what sometimes when you go to make chicken wings don’t you get kind of sick of the grease from them frying everywhere and don’t talk about baking them because you know you

Want them fried i want them fried well have i got the answers for you today we are making lemon pepper wings in the airfryer and let me tell you something these things i i wasn’t sure about this whole little airfryer business when the whole thing started and i finally broke

Them down and bought one y’all stay tuned lemon pepper wings I’ve got one pound of wings one of the little packs you get from the grocery store now i’ve washed these wings and i’ve made sure that they’re very dry it’s important that your wings are very very dry because if they’re not dry they won’t crisp up and you can get a mess

Okay we’re not going to have oil splattering everywhere but they can still be less than desirable if you know what i mean so we’re going to have with the seasonings on these this is lemon pepper this is a really simple thing to do i like just using plain old lemon pepper

Seasoning it doesn’t get much harder than this okay and what you’re going to do is put some on now as far as measurements you put as much on there as you like and i mean that i can’t tell you how much you should or shouldn’t put on there because

That’s about you and your people if you guys love lemon pepper then go for it it’s easier to add than to take away though start with a tablespoon or something go from there then i’m going to go to the garlic powder i’m going to put some garlic

Powder on here and garlic powder is a great way to add the flavor of garlic without actual garlic and also without actual salt extra salt i’m all tongue tied about these wags and then of course we are going to hit it with a little bit of salt okay

One more hint that’s about a teaspoon of salt we don’t want them too salty but we want to taste the flavor now i’m going to just take my tongs and just mix these up in the seasonings you want to make sure they look like you want them to look you should see the

Lemon pepper on there but it shouldn’t be so much that it’s yellow because if it’s too much on there and it’s yellow it’s going to be over lemon pepper and you’re going to be not happy trust me okay let’s put a little bit more on there i’m not over limber lemon peppering

I’m just making sure they look a little yellow okay just like so and these are dry wings intentionally these are actually kind of like a naked wing meaning we’re not going to put a breading coating on them with flour or anything like that we could do that but

We’re not going to we’re just going to let them crisp up in the airfryer and that skin is going to get so blessedly crisp you will think you dip these into peanut oil all right let’s go to the airfryer let’s start cooking them and here we are at the airfryer i use

This beautiful ninja i love this baby and she’s just she’s just been good to us you know we haven’t officially named her but she’s definitely part of the family it’s important to preheat your air fryer because just like when you are regularly frying something you want to

Make sure it’s hot and ready to go when you put your food in so same thing here we’re going to cook these on 400 okay and i’m going to preheat this for three minutes so if you have a ninja i recommend a three minute preheat if you

Don’t have a ninja just preheat it however your airfryer likes to be preheated we’re gonna start and we’ll be ready to get our chicken in Okay now our air fryer is ready and we’re gonna put our wings in now when we put our wings in the airfryer we’re going to cook them for 10 minutes on one side and then we’re going to turn them over so what i recommend is that you put

Them with the side you want to end with down so you can flip it to that side after the 10 minutes lord i hope that made sense to y’all so i’m going to go ahead and put these wings in it’s really important to try to get just one layer in your air fryer

You can do multiple layers but i have found from experience you will lose a little bit of your crispness it won’t be quite what you were hoping for if you layer double layer them so just take your time buy a bigger airfryer or just do them in batches and do a single layer

At a time okay so here is our first layer We’re going to go for 400 degrees for 10 minutes and let it rip while our wings are in the air fryer we’re going to make a lemon pepper butter sauce that we’re going to put over them when they come out of the air fryer and this is really simple i’ve

Melted here six tablespoons of butter you can use more or less but you don’t depends on how much you want i don’t dunk them i usually just glaze them a little bit because it’s just a nice touch to the flavor to that you’re gonna add some lemon pepper again this is

About a half of a tablespoon or so this is again up to you okay this is not one i can tell you exactly how much to use it’s about your taste buds we’re gonna put some parsley leaves in there these don’t taste like anything but they’re great for the color and a little

Bit more of this garlic powder just a little bit because we’re not trying to overdo it all right you’re going to whisk this together okay and you can give it a taste see if you like it that was good this is my house i can

Touch the fork and taste it okay it was good and i’m happy with it but i think i want one more lemon okay and you can even use a squeeze of fresh lemon juice in there to give it that real authentic lemon taste but i’m showing you how to quickly get some

Wings up if you’ve got a hankering and you’re like i need some wings and i don’t feel like cleaning no grease this is your solution let’s hit it with a little salt in there because i’m using unsalted butter and we’ll set this aside until our wings are done and we’ll go from there So our first 10 minutes is up i’ve taken the wings out for a moment i’m going to flip them okay turn them all over this is why i said to have them finish on the sides you want up I’m telling you you will be amazed how crispy these come out you’ll probably already see it starting and we’re going to put these back in the airfryer again 400 degrees for another 10 minutes or so you’ll want to check them after about eight or nine minutes

So you can see where they are and if they’re done but i think 10 minutes is going to be just what we need let’s put them back in Our wings are out and are you ready look at this is that not a beautifully crisp wing these things cook up so perfectly i cannot wait to dig in i’m just gonna put them on this platter look at that you see this do you see what i’m talking about people And here they are these are beautiful you should smell it they’re crispy and i can’t wait to dig in i’m gonna take this lemon pepper butter that we mixed up and see you can dump the whole wing in if you want to but i just like put just a

Little glaze on there like that just brushing it on i just think this is to die for i cannot wait to bite into one of these and like i’m telling you the parsley in here it doesn’t have any flavor to it it’s just pretty it gives it a nice color profile

Look at that and just put as much as you want on i know i’m going back over it y’all know how i am the good part about doing it like this though is you’re not going to lose the crispy when you put the butter on there now i am ready to

Dig into a wing but i’m trying to figure out how to do this and keep my decorum so i’m going to use this little paper towel right here this one is calling my name hello hello friend y’all pray i don’t burn my mouth because this is hot this is fresh

Out this is not staged or edited for video purposes okay oh Hot and delicious can you see this wing do you see that it is done it is juicy it is crispy unbelievable i’m about to tear this wing up she ain’t gonna know what happened to her now when i’m done all right guys thanks for joining me i

Hope you will try these air fryer lemon pepper wings and the truth is you can use any seasoning you want on them but this lemon pepper right here real deal have a great day i’ll see you guys next time

  1. I've been watching air fryer wing videos for the last hour. Finally one that is concise and informative. Gonna try these now.

  2. This is my first time watching a video, and you were so welcoming and comforting. Eating wings for today's football game. Thanks.

  3. Will the recipe change if u do it in the oven? -and how long and at what temperature u will cook them?

  4. I just happen to see you for the first time, I just say I really enjoyed your video and your video. As being and elder lady what got me was that your video was very good and step by step but your personality is very classy. You present yourself very well and your home is very nice and clean. In all it was a pleasure. Be blessed. I would like to become a you tuber and I hope if I do I maintain myself as you did.

  5. Just got recommended this. WoW thanks for an amazing recipe. I love lemon pepper chicken wings especially in the air fryer. šŸ‘šŸ¾ā¤ļø

  6. After watching this I might have the courage to use the new air fryer my son bought me – thanks for your easy to follow instructions!

  7. I just LOVE your spirit, your videos and knowledge of cooking but straight to the point are so beautiful! Also you’re beautiful ā€œ thanks sisā€ gonna definitely be making these for game day šŸ˜ŠšŸ™šŸ¾šŸ¤—

  8. I love your version of air fryer lemon pepper wings. My mother use to fry chicken like this with just seasonings and no flour coating. Thanks for sharing your recipes. I love your videos.
    P.S. The part when you said "This is my house, I can touch the fork if I want to" is funny and perfectly fine with me. I've seen where You Tubers actually dip the utensil in the food, taste the food and put it right back in the food. So disgusting!!!

  9. Hi, New Zealand here. Chef Lorious, first of all, may I say how much I love your attitude and presentation. Fantastic! I have just bought a double drawer Ninja, and it is the best thing ever. My wife is totally addicted. We have not used the oven for about 4 weeks now. Your lemon pepper wings will be on the menu for sure!

  10. Recently purchased a double basket Ninja Air Fryer from Costco, Wings, ingredients and will give this a try today…

  11. That's a whole heck of a lot of trouble. I have a Cuisinart airfryer oven combo and I cook ALL the wings in a single layer in a large basket at once since there's much more room in my airfryer. And I don't flip them. They turn out PERFECT every time. My suggestion is that you get a LARGE air fryer even if you don't have a family. I live alone and I cook wings this way. They last me the whole day so I have them for 2 full meals. Oh, and BTW, I line the pan that the basket goes in with aluminum foil so I don't have to do anything when the wings are done but remove the aluminum foil and toss it. No need to clean the pan. My basket sits up above the pan because it has legs. That means air flows underneath the basket as well as on top. So I should not ever have to turn the chicken wings over in mid-flight. And any drippings go onto the aluminum foil beneath.
