Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 1.5 tablespoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Powdered ginger
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and powdered ginger to create a rub for the wings.
Step 3
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they become crispy when baked.
Step 4
Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the spice rub and toss them until each wing is evenly coated.
Step 5
Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
While the wings are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Step 8
Stir in the fresh lemon juice to the melted butter and mix until well combined. This will be the glaze for the wings.
Step 9
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and brush them with the lemon-butter glaze using a pastry brush.
Step 10
Serve the wings immediately while they're still hot and enjoy!
