A healthier, oven-baked alternative to fried wings, featuring a vibrant lemon and fresh garlic butter sauce.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 large lemon, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire cooling rack on top of the sheet.
Step 2: Thoroughly pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove all surface moisture.
Step 3: In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder and salt until evenly coated.
Step 4: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching.
Step 5: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and the skin is crispy.
Step 6: While the wings bake, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Step 7: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and immediately toss them in a large bowl with the lemon garlic butter and fresh parsley.
Step 8: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of vegetables.

Notes

Always use baking powder, not baking soda, to achieve the crispy skin texture.
