1-Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. This step ensures your wings get that crispy skin everyone craves. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any moisture, which helps achieve the best texture.

2-Next, toss the wings with 1 teaspoon baking powder and a light coating of flour, then pop them in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. This prep trick makes them extra crunchy. Coat the wings evenly with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning, 1 ½ teaspoons lemon zest, and 1 clove minced garlic or ½ teaspoon garlic powder.

3-Line a baking pan with foil and place a rack on top, spraying it with cooking spray for even heat flow. Arrange the wings in a single layer and bake for 20 minutes, then flip and bake for another 15 minutes until they’re golden and crisp. For an extra crunch, broil them for 1 minute on each side.

4-Once done, mix 3 tablespoons melted butter with 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice and toss the wings in this sauce. Season with extra black pepper and kosher salt to taste, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley or thyme if you like. Let them rest for a moment before serving to lock in the flavors.
