Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings Recipe
Lemon Pepper Wings are the best low-carb appetizer recipe! Serve this quick and easy dish along with other finger foods for Super Bowl or your next party.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken wings portions wingettes and/or drummettes
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. salt to taste*
- 2 ½ tsp. lemon pepper seasoning divided
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch tapioca or arrowroot starch
- 1 ½ Tbsp. butter melted, or ghee*
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
In a large bowl whisk together crushed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt (if lemon pepper seasoning is salt-free.) Add chicken wings and toss to combine.
-
In a small bowl whisk together 1 ½ teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning and tapioca flour. Sprinkle mixture over wings and toss to combine.
-
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and then place a wire rack on top. Layer wings in a single layer, skin side-down, being careful that none of the skin is touching. (You can also place them directly onto parchment paper, but they won't come out nearly as crispy!)
-
Bake wings in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
-
While chicken wings are baking, whisk together melted butter and remaining 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning. Once wings are done, brush lemon pepper-butter mixture over wings. Broil wings on high for 2-4 minutes or until skin is crispy and slightly browned.
-
Serve lemon pepper wings immediately with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and lemon zest. Enjoy!
