Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and become crispy.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which helps in making them crispier.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon zest. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Step 6
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice and mix well.
Step 7
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the lemon butter sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 8
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
