Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps them to become crispy.
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder and salt. Toss the chicken wings in this mixture until they are thoroughly coated.
Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they do not touch each other to allow for even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then flip the wings over and bake an additional 20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh black pepper until combined. Remove from heat.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the lemon pepper sauce over the wings and toss until they are well coated.
Garnish the wings with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy, soy-free lemon pepper wings!
