Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 zested and juiced lemon
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zest and juice from the lemons, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are completely coated in the lemon pepper mixture.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt with the remaining lemon juice and the chopped parsley in a small bowl.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the wings with the lemon-parsley yogurt dip on the side.
