- 4 pound chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoon butter unsalted, melted
- 2 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prep the chicken: Place all wings in a large sized bowl. Sprinkle the baking powder and salt over the wings and toss well, making sure each wing is coated in the baking powder.
Bake the wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until they're golden crisp.
Finish the wings: Combine the melted butter with the lemon pepper and brush over the wings or drizzle the butter over them and toss.
Garnish and serve: Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley and serve.
- Baking Powder: This is not the same as baking soda. Baking powder is crucial in achieving a crispy skin on the wings. Don't skip it!
- Lemon Pepper Seasoning: You can easily find this in the spice aisle of your supermarket. If you'd like, you can make your own using my recipe.
- Chicken Wings: If you're using whole wings, don't forget to separate the flats and drumettes before baking. You can also buy pre-cut wings to save time.
- Serving Suggestion: These wings are great as is, but they also pair well with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and a cool, creamy dip like blue cheese or ranch.
- Leftovers: Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.
