Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness. Place them in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the wings and toss them well to ensure each wing is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they have a little space between them for proper air circulation and even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through. Bake until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, combine the lemon zest and lemon juice in a small bowl.
After baking, remove the wings from the oven and immediately toss them with the lemon mixture in a large bowl.
Serve hot, garnished with additional lemon zest or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your crispy, dairy-free lemon pepper wings!
