Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack on top of it.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps the skin become crispy.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free baking powder and salt. Add the chicken wings and toss them until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wings over and bake for an additional 25 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the lemon pepper sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Place the cooked wings in a large bowl and pour the lemon pepper sauce over the wings. Toss until the wings are well coated with the sauce.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture!
