Store Air Fryer lemon pepper chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, preheat the Air Fryer to 360°F and cook for 4 minutes; then turn the heat to 400°F and cook for another 5 minutes.
Notes and Tips
- Prepare the Air Fryer Basket with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- The lemon pepper marinade will do it’s job in just 10 minutes, but you can leave them for up to 2 hours if needed.
