Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mix the baking powder and salt. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other for even cooking.
Bake the wings for 25 minutes, then flip them over and bake for an additional 20 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Stir to combine.
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a clean bowl.
Pour the lemon pepper sauce over the wings and toss them until they are well coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the wings before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your scrumptious lemon pepper wings!
