🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (199°C) and let it warm up for 2 minutes.

In a large bowl, add chicken wings, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt (about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons), black pepper, and vegetable oil.

Mix the ingredients with gloves until well combined.

No marinating time is needed; proceed directly to air frying.

Place the seasoned chicken wings in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd for the first batch.

Air fry the wings at 390°F for 22 minutes, flipping them halfway after 10 minutes to ensure even browning.

For the second batch, you can slightly overcrowd the basket as the air fryer is hotter.

While the wings are cooking, prepare the lemon pepper sauce by melting salted grass-fed butter in a pan over medium-low heat.

Once the butter is about 90% melted, add garlic powder, a pinch of salt, fresh black pepper, and lemon pepper seasoning, mixing well and toasting for about 2 minutes.

For the second sauce, melt another portion of grass-fed salted butter over low flame, adding garlic powder and a pinch of salt once it's about 50% melted.

Mix until combined, then add fresh lemon juice once the butter is 90% melted.
