Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of it.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help them become crispy during baking.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with baking powder. Toss well to evenly coat all the wings.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mix over the wings, ensuring an even coating.
Place the chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other to allow for even cooking.
Lightly spray the wings with olive oil spray to help with crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, flip the wings over and continue baking for another 20 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the oven. Sprinkle lemon zest over the hot wings for added flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh and vibrant touch.
Serve immediately with your favorite healthy dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.
