Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wing sections
  • 3 lemons finely zested and juiced
  • 1 ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt optional (only needed if NOT marinating the wings)

Instructions

Marinated Method

  • Place chicken wings in a freezer bag and add lemon juice. Seal tightly and place bag in a large bowl (this collects any juice in case of a leak in the bag).
  • Refrigerate overnight wings, turning the bag a couple times.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining with aluminum foil and misting with non-stick spray.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
  • Remove the chicken from bag and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place chicken on prepared baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and rub with the lemon pepper seasoning you made.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, turning once.
