Lemon pepper wings are the perfect combination of crispy, tender chicken with a zesty, flavorful kick. The bright, citrusy lemon flavor pairs beautifully with the bold pepper seasoning, creating a savory dish that’s sure to satisfy your taste buds.
- Ingredients:
- 12 chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt until the wings are evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is some space between each wing for even cooking.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once baked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
