Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 tablespoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are well coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each wing for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp up nicely on both sides.
While the wings are baking, squeeze the juice from the zested lemon into a small bowl and set aside.
Once the wings are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and drizzle with the lemon juice for a fresh, zesty finish.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra lemon slices and a sprinkle of black pepper, if desired.
