Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This setup will allow the wings to cook evenly and become extra crispy.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy skin.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and half of the freshly cracked black pepper.

Step 4

Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared rack. Bake them in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the lemon pepper sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Once melted, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and the remaining black pepper to the butter mixture. Stir well and remove from heat.

Step 8

After 30 minutes of baking, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C). Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the wings from the oven. In a large bowl, toss the hot wings with the lemon pepper butter sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 10

Transfer the wings to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy your keto-friendly lemon pepper wings!
