Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps them to become crispy.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder and salt. Toss the chicken wings in this mixture until they are thoroughly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they do not touch each other to allow for even crisping.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then flip the wings over and bake an additional 20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh black pepper until combined. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the lemon pepper sauce over the wings and toss until they are well coated.
Step 8
Garnish the wings with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy, soy-free lemon pepper wings!
