Description

Discover how to make crispy, flavorful wings with a zesty lemon kick. Perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the chicken wings with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  5. Mix together the lemon zest, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a small bowl.
  6. Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl and toss with the lemon pepper sauce until they are thoroughly coated.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For best quality, always use fresh lemons for zest and juice. Store leftover wings in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to three months.
