Pat your chicken wings dry. Toss them with the cornstarch (if using, see note), 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Spray your air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Arrange the wings in a single layer.
Air fry at 400F for 20 minutes, flipping half way through. Make sure the wings are cooked through, registering 165F.
While the wings are cooking, make the sauce.
Heat a small pot over medium heat. Add the butter.
When the butter is melted, add the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. (Do not let the butter brown. If it starts to darken, reduce heat or remove from heat.)
When the wings are done, place them in a large bowl with the lemon pepper sauce. Toss to combine and let them sit for one minute.
Serve warm with dipping sauces as desired or more lemon wedges.
Notes
Fresh lemon juice is best.The cornstarch is optional. It helps give a little crunchy crust to the wings. Do not use if you want the wings to be keto.If using frozen raw wings, increase cooking time to approximately 30 minutes.If your wings are small, you will need to adjust your cooking time. This recipe works for wings that are approximately 3 inches long.To keep warm after cooking, place in foil covered container in the oven on a very low setting, 130 to 150F, for up to 90 minutes.
