Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together lemon zest and cracked pepper, then set it aside. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Pat wings dry and trim any loose bits. Spray or drizzle with olive oil, then coat with the lemon pepper seasoning.
  • Bake chicken wings for 50-55 minutes total, flipping halfway through. When the center of the largest wing reads 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer, they're finished.
  • (Optional) If you love super crispy skin, turn off the oven but turn on the broiler. Raise the pan of wings to the top rack, just 3" or so from the broiler. Broil for 1-2 minutes, carefully making sure to not allow it to burn.
  • Remove wings from oven. In a large bowl or skillet, melt butter and stir in the lemon juice. Toss in chicken wings and mix until all pieces are well coated. Serve immediately.
