Ingredients (for 2–3 servings):

2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
1 tablespoon baking powder (for extra crispiness)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon oil (optional, if baking)

Lemon Pepper Sauce:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1½–2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
Zest of ½ fresh lemon (optional, for extra zing)
1 teaspoon honey or hot sauce (optional)

 

Instructions:

1. Prep the Wings:
Pat wings very dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and a bit of oil (if baking).

2. Cook:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Bake 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

3. Toss in Lemon Pepper Sauce:
Mix melted butter with lemon pepper seasoning and lemon zest.
Toss hot wings in the sauce until evenly coated.
