Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings
Seasoning & Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the wings evenly.
- Prepare Wings: In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and fresh lemon juice to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat Evenly: Toss the wings thoroughly so that each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture, enhancing the taste and crispiness.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the coated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Bake Wings: Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they become crispy and golden brown on all sides.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving to lock in juices and flavors.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry before seasoning to reduce moisture.
- You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you prefer a little heat with the lemon pepper flavor.
- Serve with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce for a classic pairing.
- Make sure to turn the wings halfway through baking for even cooking and browning.
