Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder. Mix well to create a seasoning blend.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving extra crispy skin.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the seasoning blend. Toss them well so they are evenly coated with the mix.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each wing. This helps them cook evenly and become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, flip the wings over to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
Continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your delicious keto-friendly salt and pepper chicken wings as a main dish or appetizer!
