Spray the air fryer basket with some cooking spray or rub some oil on the basket. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer, cook the chicken at 195C/385F for 10 minutes. After the timer stops, remove the basket and flip the chicken wings, return it in the air fryer and cook for another 10 minutes at 195C/385F.
For the last time, take out the chicken and give it a good shake, increase the temperature of the air fryer to 200C/400F and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
While this is going on, move on to make the lemon pepper sauce
Melt the butter in a microwavable bowl, add the lemon zest, freshly ground pepper and a little bit of salt to taste and mix to combine.
Transfer the chicken to a bowl, pour over the lemon pepper sauce and toss to combine.
