• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 medium lemon

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon kosher salt (if using no-salt lemon pepper)

4 pounds party chicken wings (36 to 44 separated pieces)

Directions

Step 1

Arrange 2 racks to divide the oven into thirds and heat the oven to 425℉. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil, then fit a wire rack inside each. Coat the wire racks with cooking spray.

Step 2

Finely grate the zest of 1 medium lemon until you have 2 teaspoons and place in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. If the lemon pepper seasoning you have does not contain salt, add 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Whisk to combine.

Step 3

Pat 4 pounds party chicken wings dry with paper towels. Add to the spice mixture and toss until evenly coated. Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1/2-inch apart. Bake, flipping every 20 minutes, until browned, crispy, and cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes total. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
