Crispy Baked Lemon Pepper Wings

They're baked and as crispy as when they're fried. These crispy baked lemon pepper wings are definitely easier to make than fried ones since you don't need to be present during the whole cooking time. Using fresh lemon really brings out the lemony flavour. Give it a try!

Ingredients

The Seasoning

¾ teaspoon baking powder , NOT baking soda
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon turmeric powder

Main

1 lb chicken wings (450 g)
2 tablespoon butter (30 g), melted
zest from 1 lemon
black pepper to taste
salt to taste

Instructions

The Seasoning

Add all ingredients into a small bowl, mix well and set aside.

Prepping The Chicken Wings

Prepare a rack on a baking tray that has been lined with aluminium foil. Spray the rack with some oil. Set aside.
Wash the chicken wing, drain and place them in a huge bowl. Pat them really dry with some kitchen paper.
Then sprinkle the seasoning on top. Using your hand, coat the wingettes well with the seasoning. Place them on the prepared rack with some space in between.

Baking Them Crispy

Bake in a preheated oven with convection setting at 440ºF (225ºC) for 20 minutes, use the middle rack.
Remove from the oven and flip the wings. Continue baking for another 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and flip them for one last time. Continue baking for 10 minutes more or until crispy.
Remove from the oven and leave for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add lemon zest, butter, black pepper and salt in to another small bowl and mix well. Add in the chicken and coat them well. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use a portable oven thermometer to get the accurate temperature for your oven (I use it all the time).
Make sure to pat the wings dry, bake them at the correct temperature, and don't forget to flip them.
Make your own by using the seasonings that you love.
