Suggested Equipment
Ingredients Needed
To make this recipe you're going to need the following ingredients:
Chicken Wing Sections: If using frozen wing sections, you'll need to make sure they're completely defrosted before making this recipe.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Lemon Pepper Seasoning
Can I use whole Chicken wings?
Yes, but you'll need to cut them into sections first.
Here's how:
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the wing tip off at the joint.
- Next, separate the remaining wing in half by cutting it down the middle at the joint forming two sections (drumstick and flats).
This recipe makes 18 wing sections so you'll need 9 full chicken wings cut in half.
How do you make Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings?
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Add the wing sections to a colander, rinse under cold water; then pat dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Add the wings to a mixing bowl; then add the olive oil and lemon pepper seasoning. Using a spoon, toss to evenly coat; then add the wings to a sheet pan in a single layer.
Place the pan in the oven and cook for 1 hour; rotating after 30 minutes so they crispy on both sides. Remove from the oven, place the wings on a serving platter; then serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
