Toss the wing sections and yellow onion in a large mixing bowl. Squeeze the juice from lemon quarters over the wings followed by the salt and peppercorns. Pour the water into the bowl and let it sit for 4-6 hours.

After removing the chicken from the brine, thoroughly pat the pieces dry with paper towels. Layer the dry wings on a baking sheet and lightly spray them with canola oil. Sprinkle the chicken with the old bay seasoning.

Place the wings onto the air fryer racks in a sigle layer. Set the temperature to 400° for 12 minutes. After the first 12 minutes, flip the wings over and rotate the racks if applicable. Cook for another 10-12 minutes.

You can make these wings in the oven using the same ingredients. Preheat the oven to 475°. Layer the wings on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove the old bay wings to a platter and serve immediately.
