Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Wings
These Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Wings are a welcome change to the Buffalo version. Brined first of all, then cooked in the air fryer, and finally slathered with a Hot Honey Lemon Pepper. They're sweet, juicy, tender and delicious with a slight kick that reminds you you're eating chicken wings.
