take a quick second to subscribe to the channel make sure to hit that bell enable notifications as well all right guys first things first i'm gonna show you how to save a couple bucks typically at the grocery store the whole wing is a little bit cheaper than the ones that are already parted out so save yourself some money and do it yourself all you need is a sharp knife go right between the joint there at the wing tip and the flat and you can remove it super easy same thing between the flat and the drum there's a joint right there as long as you find it you just cut right through it and there you have it you can save these wing tips for amazing homemade chicken stock just go ahead and put them in a freezer bag place them in the freezer and break them out anytime you want to make your own stock super easy guys and it'll save you guys a couple dollars if you guys want to see more airfryer recipes on the channel let me know in the comments i also have several airfryer recipe ebooks that i've linked to in the description box below once we've gone ahead and parted out our chicken wings we're going to add them to a mixing bowl we're gonna squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over top just to start the cleaning process a little bit and to add a little bit of flavor as always guys the specific measurements and ingredients can be found in the description box below anytime you cut through bone and cartilage you want to make sure that you clean your wings you don't want anything to damage your teeth so it's a good idea to run some cold water over them get in there with your hands and just get rid of anything that you don't want to eat right so there we have it the wings are nice and clean we're going to drain them off and then the next step which is one of the most important steps to a crispy chicken wing is to dry them thoroughly so here i have some paper towel on a baking sheet we're going to place our wings on there and then we're going to dry them as much as we possibly can remember guys a dry chicken wing is a crispy chicken wing and when i say dry i'm not talking about the interior of the wing i'm talking about that skin we want it to get nice and crispy to break out your paper towel and just dry the wings until your heart is content and once they're nice and dry we'll go ahead and apply a base layer of seasoning so here i have a little all-purpose seasoning which consists of salt pepper garlic and onion powder just give them a generous coat feel free to use whatever seasoning you like on your chicken but don't go too crazy because the lemon pepper seasoning has quite a bit of sodium in it and we're adding that later as well so just a nice light layer looking good now we're moving on to the secret ingredient for crispy air fryer wings which is corn starch about a cup of corn starch into a mixing bowl with some all-purpose seasoning as well give that a nice mix make sure that it's well seasoned there we go and then we're just going to dip our wings into that cornstarch we want a real light coating guys not anything too heavy just enough to help them get extra crispy there we go just roll them in there once place them on a wire rack and then we're going to warm up our air fryer these wings are so good guys can't wait for you guys to try this recipe while we let our wings chill out for a minute we go ahead and make our lemon pepper sauce so you're going to use the juice of one half of a lemon as you see here hold the seeds please that's a lot of seeds in that lemon there we go next we're going in with some lemon zest we really want to kick up the lemon flavor a bit here about a quarter teaspoon or so of lemon zest and about two to three tablespoons of melted butter followed by whatever your favorite lemon pepper seasoning is this one is from lowry's i like it but use whatever you like break out the whisk and mix to combine if you want to get crazy you can add a little old bay for an old bay lemon pepper flavor that's one of my favorites but today we're keeping a straight up lemon pepper this is delicious guys can't wait for you to try it here i have the ninja foodie xl we're gonna crank that up to 390 degrees and hit the air crisp button spray it down with a little cooking spray just to make sure nothing sticks and then we're going to add our wings one important tip guys is to make sure you do not overcrowd your air fryer you want to make sure that you give the chicken wings enough space so that the air can circulate around them and that'll help them get crispy as well spray them with a little cooking spray set the timer for 20 minutes and we're going to check in after about six or seven minutes just to see how we're looking give them a flip say it with me guys looking good i've provided a link for this particular airfryer in the description box for you guys also we're going to hit it with a little bit more cooking spray just to make sure everything's getting nice and crispy let it roll for another five or ten minutes and then we're gonna crank the heat up to 450 degrees and this is when they're really going to start getting crispy you want to flip them every few minutes or so just keep an eye you want to make sure they're cooking evenly as you can see they're looking beautiful almost like they're coming fresh out the grease nice golden brown color there we go one last peek before they hit the sauce look at that as you can hear they're nice and crispy showing off now a little bit that's what you want to hear guys now we're going to go ahead and hit them with the sauce give them a nice toss in the mixing bowl yes sir i'm getting hungry now who wants some lemon pepper wings let me know in the comments if you plan to try this recipe brace yourself for a trademark money shot you know
