Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 whole lemon
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings, avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Toss well to coat the wings evenly.
Spread the seasoned wings out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the lemon pepper seasoning. Zest both lemons into a small bowl, then juice one of the lemons. Set aside the juice.
Combine the lemon zest with the freshly ground black pepper, mixing well.
Once the wings are cooked, remove from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle with the reserved lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon pepper mixture over the top. Toss well to coat the wings.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the wings before serving.
