Cripy Baked Lemon Pepper Wings

I always bake my chicken wings, and they are so much better than the fried ones. They turn outsuper crispyand not to mention a lotless calories. Especially when you combine them with super fresh and bright lemon – it’s a snack made in heaven!

Yes! Baking powder, not to be confused with baking soda, is the secret to extra crispy chicken wings. As you know, baking powder is usually used in baking goods as a leavening agent. But what does it do for chicken wings, you ask? Well, when mixed with salt and then coated on the chicken wings, it actually dries out the wing skin, leaving it super crispy and crunchy while baking.

If you want to get technical, the reason this happens is because the baking powder raises the pH level in the chicken, which in turn allows the peptide bonds in the skin to break down, thus allowing the skin to get crispy and brown. Who knew?

Chicken wings take about 40 minutes to bake until they’re nice and crispy at 425 F degrees – I know it’s hard to wait. However, each oven is different, so start looking in on them after 30 minutes.

If you’re looking to fry your wings rather than bake them, then I have some instructions to get you there, so keep scrolling.

The wings themselves will last in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To freeze just store the wings in an airtight container for up to4 months, to reheat just thaw in the fridge over night before popping in the oven till heated through.

Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings • Wanderlust And Wellness

These lemon pepper chicken wings are one of my personal favorite flavors of wings. The combination of fresh cracked pepper, garlic, and fresh lemon juice works so well together. Not only is this recipe delicious, it is also so easy to make as well as Paleo-friendly, naturally gluten free, and Whole30 compliant.

If you haven’t tried it already, you may be surprised to find that one of the easiest ways to get perfectly crispy wings is baking them in the oven.

This method is simple and requires minimal clean up (all you need is one sheet pan), and once you put them in the oven, all you have to do is flip the wings once halfway through cooking.

Lemon Pepper Wings With Lemon Pepper Sauce

Chicken wings are the perfect weeknight dinner option when you need a recipe that is simple and does not require a lot of hands on cooking time.

Chicken Wings: I personally like to use split chicken wings for this and all my wing recipes but if you like feel free to use whole wings instead.

Step Two: Drizzle the wings with avocado oil or melted ghee and then season with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Give the chicken a toss in the oil and seasoning until all of the wings are well coated.

Step Three: Next, transfer the chicken wings to a sheet pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Lining the sheet pan with parchment paper helps to ensure that the wings do not stick. Bake the wings at 425 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until browned and crispy. Don’t forget to flip the wings halfway through so that they cook evenly.

Step Four: Once the chicken wings are done cooking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, garlic powder, parsley, and black pepper to the wings. Toss the chicken until it is well coated in all of the seasonings. Now, give one of the chicken wings a taste and add more salt or lemon juice to taste. Once the wings taste just perfect, serve and enjoy!

Do you have an air fryer and want to use it to make your wings? The good news is that you can absolutely make these lemon pepper chicken wings in the air fryer for even quicker option.

To make these wings in the air fryer, just toss them in the oil and seasonings until well coated. Then transfer the wings to the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

You can give the wings a shake or flip them halfway through to ensure that they cook evenly. After the wings are finished cooking, toss them in the lemon pepper seasoning and enjoy!

Air Fryer Method: If you have an air fryer, you can easily pop a few wings back into the air fryer to reheat. If your air fryer has a ‘reheat’ function you can use that or just air fry them again at 400 degrees for a few minutes until heated through.

Oven Method: Another great way to reheat these lemon pepper wings is in the oven. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees then place the wings on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Pop them in the oven and heat for a few minutes until hot and crispy.

I have found that the absolute worst way to reheat wings is in the microwave. They just do not have the same crispy-ness that you will get from an oven, air fryer, or toaster oven.
