Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings
Seasoning
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking crispy wings.
- Prepare the Wings: In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and fresh lemon juice, ensuring the flavors will infuse the wings.
- Coat Evenly: Toss the wings thoroughly until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture for consistent flavor.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the wings out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced out to allow for even cooking and crisping.
- Bake the Wings: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to achieve golden brown and crispy texture on all sides.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavor and ensure safe handling.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
- You can adjust the amount of lemon pepper seasoning based on your taste preference.
- Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for a classic pairing.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
