Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness. Place them in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
Step 4
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the wings and toss them well to ensure each wing is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 5
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they have a little space between them for proper air circulation and even cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through. Bake until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
Step 7
While the wings are baking, combine the lemon zest and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Step 8
After baking, remove the wings from the oven and immediately toss them with the lemon mixture in a large bowl.
Step 9
Serve hot, garnished with additional lemon zest or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your crispy, dairy-free lemon pepper wings!
