Instructions
Prep and Season the Wings
Pat wings completely dry with paper towels. Toss with baking powder, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Make sure every wing is evenly coated for maximum crispiness.
Bake Until Crispy
Place wings on a wire rack over a lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 425 degrees F for 45 minutes, flipping once at the halfway point, until deeply golden and crispy.
Make the Lemon Pepper Butter
Combine melted butter, fresh lemon juice, cracked black pepper, and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until well blended. The butter will carry the lemon pepper flavor onto every wing.
Toss the Wings
Add the hot crispy wings directly to the bowl with the lemon pepper butter. Toss vigorously until every wing is fully coated in the glossy lemon pepper sauce.
Serve Immediately
Transfer wings to a serving platter and garnish with additional lemon zest and cracked pepper if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus.
