Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings, separated at the joint (or use drumettes and flats)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon-pepper seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon-pepper seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Tips:
5. For extra crispy wings, broil them on high for the last minute or two of cooking.
6. You can also fry the wings in hot oil (350°F) for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve your Lemon Pepper Wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or hot sauce.
