Discover how to make crispy, flavorful air fryer hot honey lemon pepper chicken wings with this easy and delicious recipe. Perfect for game day, parties, or a quick weeknight dinner, these wings are a healthier alternative to fried wings, offering a perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and citrus flavors.

  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings (party or whole wing segments)
  • 1/4 cup hot honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange wings in a single layer, not overcrowded.
  4. Cook the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While the wings cook, mix hot honey, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, and a pinch of salt in a bowl to make the glaze.
  6. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour the glaze over the wings and toss to coat. For extra crispiness, air fry for 2-3 more minutes if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure to pat wings dry before seasoning for maximum crispiness.
  • Thorough preheating of the air fryer ensures even cooking and crispness.
  • For extra heat, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the glaze.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes for best crispiness.
