High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Wings

Crispy, golden wings with a bright, buttery lemon pepper sauce — this air fryer recipe delivers serious crowd-pleasing flavor with a shockingly clean ingredient list. Store-bought wing sauces and seasoning blends are notorious for sneaking in sweeteners and additives, but every component here is made from scratch using real, whole ingredients you can actually pronounce. The secret to that shatteringly crisp skin is baking powder and a hot air fryer, no deep-frying or mystery coatings required. Once the wings come out golden and crackling, they get tossed in a simple pan sauce of melted butter, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and coarsely ground black pepper — nothing more, nothing less. The result is tangy, savory, and just a little rich, with that zippy citrus punch cutting right through the richness of the butter. A scatter of fresh parsley and a few lemon wedges on the side make these look like something you'd order at a restaurant, even though they came together entirely in your own kitchen.
