Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and become crispy.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps in making them crispier.
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon zest. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice and mix well.
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the lemon butter sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
