Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help air circulate around the wings to make them crispy.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Removing the moisture is crucial for achieving the desired crispy texture.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix the baking powder, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. The baking powder will act to create extra crispiness without adding sodium.
Step 4
Add the wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other for maximum crispiness.
Step 6
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning them over halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
While the wings are baking, prepare the lemon coating. In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk together until well blended.
Step 8
Once the wings are crispy and cooked through, transfer them to a large bowl. Drizzle the lemon mixture over the hot wings and toss to coat them evenly.
Step 9
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and freshness, if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium crispy lemon pepper wings as a delicious appetizer or main dish!
