AIR FRYER LEMON PEPPER WINGS

DIRECTIONS

01. Wash wings and dry well with paper towels. In a mixing bowl, sprinkle the garlic, onion and lemon pepper seasonings. Toss wings in bowl until completely covered. Feel free to add more lemon pepper if you like it a lot.

02. Form a single row in the air fryer of the seasoned wings (may take 2 batches). Set the air fryer to 400º and cook on each side for 10 minutes. If you desire a crispier wing, add an additional 3-5 minutes per side.

03. Sit back and enjoy the best Lemon Pepper Wings you have ever tasted!

V ICE PR E SI D E NT & FI NA NC IAL ADV IS O R JO INED SF G I N 20 0 5 My wife, Jennifer and I have three great kids – two in college and the youngest is in eighth grade. One thing we all agree on is how much fun we have spending time together as a family! When I was in my early teens, we as a family twice had the opportunity to spend a month in northern Italy outside Bologna where my father had an appointment as a visiting university professor. We of course fell in love with the regional cuisine. I particularly liked this dish, which was and remains my father’s specialty de casa, and when I went to college, my mother appropriately insisted that I know how to make one proper meal (Dutch oven Boy Scout cooking notwithstanding), so this is what dad taught me to make from memory and instinct. Fortunately, it came in mighty handy when I was courting my wife-to-be and needed something to suggest somewhat greater sophistication than the redneck connotations of my rural southwest Virginia hometown and “JT” nickname brought to mind – Success! Our kids also enjoy it and risotto continues to be in regular rotation on “daddy’s dinner night” around our house.
