Ingredients
Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings, drummies and flats are okay
- ¼ cup (62 g) yellow mustard
- ¼ cup (64 g) buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
Breading
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
Sauce
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter
- ¼ cup (64 g) buffalo sauce
- ¼ cup (85 g) honey
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 1 medium lemon
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
Instructions
Wings
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl. Add mustard, buffalo sauce, and lemon pepper seasoning. Toss to coat. Set aside while you prepare the breading mixture.
Breading
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and lemon pepper seasoning.
- Toss each wing in the breading mixture to coat, shaking off any excess breading.
- Spray the basket of your air fryer. Working in batches, add the coated chicken wings to the basket in a single layer, leaving space in between each wing. Air Fry* at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping the wings halfway.
- Place the air-fried wings into a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining wings.
Sauce
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add buffalo sauce, honey, lemon juice, and lemon pepper seasoning. Stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
- Enjoy with ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping.
Notes
- Get a crispy and delicious alternative to air fryer Buffalo lemon pepper chicken wings by baking them in the oven. Follow the wing coating instructions until ready to air fry. Instead, place the coated wings on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400°F, flipping halfway, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Prepare the tangy Buffalo sauce and toss the fully-cooked wings in the sauce and enjoy!
- If you are more of a traditionalist and prefer to fry your chicken wings in oil, I have you covered. To fry the wings in oil, follow these steps:
- Coat and add breading to the chicken wings as instructed.
- Fill a large pot with vegetable oil until it reaches halfway up the pot. Heat the pot until the oil reaches 375°F, using a thermometer to check the temperature. While the oil is heating, set a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
- Working 2-3 wings at a time to maintain the oil temperature, add the wings to the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
- Carefully remove the wings from the oil and place them on the wire rack.
- Bring the oil temperature back up to 375°F. Once hot enough, place the fried wings back into the oil for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the oil and set on the wire rack to drain.
- Toss the fried wings in the sauce and serve.
