Baked Lemon Pepper Wings Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by separating chicken wings into wingettes and drumettes, then coating them lightly with extra light olive or avocado oil. They are spread on a baking sheet with space between to allow even heat circulation and baked at 425°F for about 40 minutes, achieving a golden, crispy texture without frying.
After baking, the wings are tossed in a mixture of melted unsalted butter blended with lemon pepper seasoning, which imparts a savory, citrusy, and peppery flavor coating. The seasoning quantity can be adjusted to taste, especially regarding salt content, as lemon pepper blends vary.
The wings are served warm, suitable as appetizers or main dishes. Baking provides a less greasy alternative to fried wings while still maintaining crispness and flavor. Adjust seasoning to personal preference before serving.
Ingredients
- 3 lb chicken wings separated into wingettes and drumettes
- 3 tbsp extra light olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 cup butter melted, unsalted
- 2 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the chicken wings into a large bowl and drizzle them with oil.
- Place wings on a baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake the chicken wings for 40 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Melt the butter in a medium size bowl and stir in lemon pepper seasoning. Add the wings to the butter mixture and toss until the wings are evenly coated in the seasoning. Serve while the wings are still warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust salt based on the saltiness of the lemon pepper seasoning to suit your taste.
