Method

How to Make Lemon Pepper Wings

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil, then place a wire rack on top.
Combine chicken wings in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, lemon zest, and black pepper. Toss gently until well coated.
Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat while the wings are baking. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and additional black pepper.
Toss the baked wings in the buttery sauce just before serving.
