Ingredients

🍗 2 turkey wings

🍋 1 lemon (zest and juice)

🌶 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning

🧂 1 teaspoon salt

🌿 1 teaspoon dried thyme

🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder

🧈 2 tablespoons melted butter

🥄 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1- Prep the Wings:

Rinse and pat dry the turkey wings using paper towels. This helps the seasoning adhere better.

2- Season the Wings:

In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, salt, dried thyme, and garlic powder. Mix well.

3- Marinate:

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the turkey wings, coating them thoroughly. Allow the wings to marinate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors penetrate.

4- Preheat the Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.

5- Cook the Wings:

While the air fryer is preheating, brush the turkey wings with melted butter and olive oil to enhance crispiness.
Place the wings in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap for even cooking.
Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides are crispy and cooked through.

6- Finish and Serve:

Once done, remove the wings from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes. This allows the juices to settle back into the meat.
Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a sprinkle of extra lemon zest for an additional zing.
