Lemon Pepper Wings Recipe

American · Appetizer · 60 min total

Crispy baked chicken wings coated in a tangy lemon pepper seasoning, perfect for game day or a quick dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
• 2 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp lemon zest
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cracked black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
3. Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
4. While wings bake, combine lemon zest, garlic powder, melted butter, lemon juice, cracked black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt in a small bowl.
5. Remove wings from oven and immediately toss with the lemon pepper butter mixture until well coated.
6. Serve hot with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.

Tips

• For extra crispy wings, let them dry uncovered in the fridge overnight before baking.
• Adjust lemon pepper seasoning to taste; add more lemon zest for extra tang.
• Leftover wings can be reheated in an air fryer at 375°F for 5 minutes.
