Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0 Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of it.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help them become crispy during baking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with baking powder. Toss well to evenly coat all the wings.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mix over the wings, ensuring an even coating.
Step 5
Place the chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other to allow for even cooking.
Step 6
Lightly spray the wings with olive oil spray to help with crispiness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, flip the wings over and continue baking for another 20 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the wings from the oven. Sprinkle lemon zest over the hot wings for added flavor.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh and vibrant touch.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your favorite healthy dipping sauce or enjoy them plain.
