Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings
Description
This recipe begins by drying the chicken wings thoroughly then coating them evenly with baking powder and kosher salt, which helps create a crisp skin when baked. The wings are arranged in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roasted at 425℉, flipping halfway for even browning and thorough crisping. The internal temperature is monitored to reach 165ºF for safe consumption.
While baking, a sauce is prepared combining melted unsalted butter with honey, fresh lemon juice, and lemon pepper seasoning. After baking, the wings are coated or tossed in this tangy, mildly sweet, and peppery sauce, which complements the crispy skin and juicy interior. Garnishes like lemon wedges and parsley add freshness and presentation appeal. These wings work well as an appetizer or part of a casual meal with dipping sauces on the side.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken wings , patted dry with paper towels
- 2 tablespoons baking powder (preferably aluminum-free, but with aluminum will also work)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1-2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning click for recipe, homemade
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Place the wings in a large bowl or gallon ziplock bag. Add the baking powder and salt and toss or shake the chicken wings to evenly coat. Place the chicken wings on the baking sheet in a single layer, leave a little space between each wing, and bake for 35-40 minutes, turning over halfway through, or until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken registers 165ºF.
- Prepare the lemon pepper seasoning while the wings are baking. Combine the melted butter, honey, lemon juice and lemon pepper in a bowl. Remove the chicken wings from the oven and either brush on the seasoned butter mixture or drizzle it over the wings and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with lemon wedges and parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
