Air Fryer Buffalo Lemon Pepper Wings

4. Prepare the Buffalo Lemon Pepper Sauce:
   While the wings are cooking, place a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add butter, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and hot sauce. Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is fully emulsified and heated through. This creates a tangy, buttery, spicy glaze with bright citrus notes.
5. Coat the Wings:
   Once the wings are fully cooked and golden brown, transfer them to a large clean bowl. Pour the prepared buffalo lemon pepper sauce over the wings. Toss the wings well to ensure they are completely coated with the flavorful sauce.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   Plate the wings and lightly dust with extra lemon pepper seasoning for an extra punch of flavor. Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Optional: pair with celery sticks, ranch or blue cheese dip for a classic wing platter experience.

Pro Tips

• For crispier skin: Pat the wings dry with paper towels before seasoning to remove surface moisture.
• Flavor adjustment: Use less cayenne for milder heat, or increase for spicier wings.
• Lemon zest: Freshly grated zest adds brightness—avoid the white pith to prevent bitterness.
