Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 1.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This setup will help the air circulate around the wings, making them crispier.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to allow for better crisping and place them in a large bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Pour the olive oil over the chicken wings and toss to coat them evenly. Then, add the seasoning mixture to the wings and toss again until they're fully coated.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack, ensuring they are spaced apart for optimal air flow and even cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time, until they're golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for an added touch of flavor and color.
Step 9
Enjoy these Whole30 Lemon Pepper Wings as a delicious and nutritious appetizer or main course!
