Ingredients
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed for the best flavor)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over it to elevate the wings for even cooking.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the lemon pepper sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the lemon juice and zest, mixing well.
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven, and toss them in the lemon butter sauce until fully coated.
- Transfer the wings to a serving platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
