Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Baking powder (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet and coat it lightly with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free baking powder and salt. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and toss them in the baking powder mixture until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the coated wings on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the wings are crispy and golden brown, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
In a small pot over medium heat, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, black pepper, and lemon juice. Heat gently for about 2-3 minutes until everything is well blended and fragrant. Remove from heat.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the lemon pepper mixture over the wings and gently toss to coat thoroughly.
Serve the lemon pepper wings hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
