Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 2 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top for even cooking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step ensures crispiness.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dry mixture over the chicken wings, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, leaving space between each wing to allow proper air circulation.

Step 6

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

While the wings are baking, prepare the lemon pepper sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and lemon zest.

Step 8

Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the lemon pepper sauce over the wings and gently toss to coat them evenly.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as-is, garnished with extra lemon zest if desired. Enjoy!
