Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs whole chicken wings tips removed but flats and drumettes left attached
  • 2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder not baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1 tsp neutral oil for rack
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 lemon cut into wedges

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 425°F; oil an oven-safe rack over a foil-lined rimmed sheet. Pat wings dry; toss with baking powder and salt.
  2. Space whole wings unfolded on rack; bake 25 minutes. Carefully turn at joined sections.
  3. Bake 25 to 30 minutes more until crisp and thickest meat reaches at least 165°F.
  4. Mix oil, lemon zest, pepper, and garlic powder; thinly brush hot wings. Rest 3 minutes.
  5. Serve 4 appetizer portions with lemon wedges; squeeze onto individual bites, not entire batch.
