1/2 teaspoon salt

For the lemon pepper sauce

1/4 cup butter melted
1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200/400F.
Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel. Place them in a large bowl, and toss them with baking powder and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon pepper seasoning, lemon juice, and salt.
Add the sauce over the chicken wings and coat well.
Line a large baking sheet with foil and place an oven-safe cooling rack on top. Transfer the wings to the top of the rack and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Once the wings are seasoned, place them in the greased air fryer basket and air fry at 200C/400F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
