• Start by patting the chicken wings dry on kitchen paper. This is an important step to ensure that the skin on the chicken wings stays dry. If the skin has moisture on it, it will not crisp up as well.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken wings and top it with a teaspoon of olive oil, paprika, salt, garlic powder (optional), black pepper. Mix this up with a spatula.
• In the basket of a preheated air fryer (I am using my Instant Vortex here), place the chicken wings in a single layer without overcrowding. Set it to air fry at 400 F for 15 minutes.
• At the 10 minute mark, flip over the chicken wings to air fry them evenly on all sides. Once the air frying cycle is complete, take out the chicken wings and add them to a bowl.

Make the honey lemon pepper glaze

• Make the glaze in a saucepan on the stovetop. Heat olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and juice of half a lemon, and honey. Mix well and cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes until thick.
• Take this mixture off the heat and pour this glaze over the prepared chicken wings. Toss the chicken wings until they are evenly coated in the glaze.
• Loney lemon pepper air fryer chicken wings can be served on their own or with a side of ranch dip.
