Ingredients

  • Wings
  • 2 pounds chicken wings tips removed and cut into wingettes and drumettes
  • 1 Tbsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning blend
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Non-stick cooking oil spray
  • Glaze
  • ¼ cup 4 Tbsp butter
  • 1 ½ Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 ½ tsp honey optional

Instructions

Wings

  • Place one oven rack in the lower center slot and another in the slot above. Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line one or two rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack insert in the pan(s). Lightly coat the racks with cooking oil spray.
  • Pat the chicken wingette and drumette pieces dry with paper towels. Place them in a mixing bowl. Add the baking powder, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt to the wings and toss to coat completely.
  • Place the wing portions on the lined pan, leaving a little space between each. Put the pan in the oven on the center rack and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Move the sheet pan to the upper rack and turn the oven temperature up to 425°F. Bake the wings for 20 minutes. Flip them over and continue to bake until they are golden, crispy, and have an internal temperature of 165°F, approximately 25 more minutes.
  • Remove the wings from the oven and make the glaze.

Glaze

  • In a small saucepot, melt the butter. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and honey if using.
  • Brush the hot wings with the glaze and transfer to a platter. Serve while warm and crunchy. With hot sauce on the side
