Ingredients
- 1 pound of chicken wings
- Zest from 3 large lemons
- 4 teaspoons of freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 6 tablespoons of butter
- ¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Chopped chives for garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, black pepper, and garlic salt. Reserve half of this mixture for the butter sauce and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the remaining lemon zest mixture and cover the chicken wings in the mixture.
- Lightly spray your jelly roll pan with cooking spray, and place the wings on the pan. Cook for 25 minutes, then flip, cooking for another 20 minutes.
- While the chicken wings bake, add the reserved lemon zest mixture to your 1 quart saucepan along with the butter and lemon juice, until it is all melted and combined.
- Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the lemon butter sauce, and garnish with fresh chives.
