This is a very simple recipe. All you will need are the following ingredients:

  • chicken wings
  • lemon pepper seasoning
  • garlic powder
  • olive oil
  • butter

You might not have lemon pepper seasoning on hand, but you can make your own! If you need to make your own pretty easily. The basic ingredients are exactly what you would guess:

  • lemon zest
  • pepper
  • salt

The type and amount you use is up to you and what you have on hand. I use fresh ground pepper and sea salt. The ratio I use is 1:2:1, meaning 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons black pepper, and 1 tablespoon salt. You can tweak this ratio to fit your taste. Since the basic recipe calls for just three tablespoons of the seasoning, you shouldn't need to make too much of this for a small serving of wings. However, if you're making these for a party, you'll probably want to double or triple it!

I had some friends show up to my house for a last minute game night this week and I had no food prepared, but there was no need to panic because I remembered the wings I had just purchased the day before. Perfect! Now what to do with them?

Crispy Baked Lemon Pepper Wings! My mouth immediately began to drool at the thought. I knew that I could pop these babies in the oven and have them ready within the next 30 minutes to feed a hungry crowd that somehow went from 3 to 8. Sheesh!

Lemon Pepper Seasoning

There's a really cool international farmers market not too far from my house, so I'm always stopping in to pick up some different herbs and spices. During this trip I picked up some Lemon Pepper Salt – it has a strong lemon flavor that goes great with chicken and seafood.

Lemon Pepper Oil

I tossed the lemon pepper seasoning into the Ziploc bag with olive oil and mixed it around. Since the lemon pepper seasoning is a mixture of salt, pepper, and lemon, you don't have to put any extras into the bag.

Lemon Pepper Bag

Then I tossed the chicken in and mixed everything in the bag until the chicken was well coated. (The longer the chicken sits in the bag, the better, but if you're short on time its fine.)

I placed the chicken on a baking sheet skin-side up for optimal crunch, while making sure not to overcrowd them on the pan.

Lemon Pepper Wings Oven

I then placed them in a 425 F degree oven and let them bake for about 20 minutes (skin-side up).

While the wings were baking I melted 1/4 cup butter and sprinkled in 1/2 tbsp of the lemon pepper seasoning along with the juice from half a lemon. (Be sure to check the butter sauce for flavor before tossing the chicken)

Lemon Pepper Wings Close

Once the wings had been in the oven for about 20 minutes, I flipped them to get the other side nice and golden brown. I also squeezed some fresh lemon juice over the chicken to get a bit more of a lemon-y bite.

Wings Close Up

After about another 10 minutes the wings were done. The juices were running clear and the skin was nice and crispy! I took them out of the hot oven and off the hot baking sheet, then tossed them in the butter mixture I made. I served them immediately and they were gone before I could remove the second batch. Enjoy!
