Ingredients

2 lbs Chicken wings, drumettes and flats separated1 tbsp Olive oil2 tbsp Lemon pepper seasoning1 tsp Garlic powder1/2 tsp Onion powder1/2 tsp Salt (adjust based on seasoning blend)2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)1 Lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place an oven-safe wire rack on top. Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels; this is crucial for crispy skin.
2
In a large bowl, toss the dried chicken wings with olive oil until evenly coated. In a small separate bowl, combine lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the wings and toss again until all wings are well coated.
3
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring there is space between each wing for even cooking. This allows air to circulate, making them extra crispy.
4
Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For extra crispiness, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
5
Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make the wings extra crispy?

Patting the wings very dry before seasoning is key. Using a wire rack on a baking sheet allows air to circulate around the wings, ensuring even crisping. You can also lightly dust them with baking powder (1 tsp per pound of wings) before seasoning for even crispier skin.

Can I air fry these wings?

Yes, air frying is a great option! Cook in a single layer at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through. Cooking time may vary by air fryer model.

What can I serve with these wings?

These wings pair well with a cool ranch or blue cheese dip, celery and carrot sticks, or a light green salad. For a game day spread, consider serving them alongside other appetizers like sliders or a vegetarian dip.
