Lemon Garlic Chicken Wings

Freshly squeezed lemon adds the perfect tanginess to these baked chicken wings. No need for fancy ingredients, just a few things you probably already have in your kitchen.

You can serve these chicken wings with raw or roasted vegetables, or a quick salad. These would also taste great dipped in ranch dressing.

P.S. This is my new NordicWare baking sheet (see it below) and I'm in love! It's really BIG - the perfect size for making sheet pan dinners.

I'm a huge NordicWare fan - I collect their seasonal baking pans. They're so beautiful and the quality is excellent.

Ingredients For Lemon Garlic Chicken Wings

Chicken Wings - I used about 2 lbs of chicken wings. Feel free to make more or less as long as they cook in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Spice Mix - You'll add this mix to the chicken before baking: avocado oil (or other cooking oil), garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
Lemon Slices - These are added halfway through in the baking process. They're optional but make a beautiful presentation.
Lemon Dressing - This chicken wings are tossed in lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper after they're baked.

Prep Time: 10

Cook Time: 50

Total Time: 1

Servings: 5 servings

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken wings
½ lemon - sliced thin (optional)

Seasoning:

2 Tbsp avocado oil - or other cooking oil
1 Tbsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
salt and pepper - to taste

Lemon Dressing:

3 Tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper - to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray (I use avocado spray), or line it with foil or parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, avocado oil (or other cooking oil), salt and pepper.
Add the chicken wings to a large bowl and pour the sauce overtop. Toss together until evenly coated.
Lay the chicken wings on the greased or lined baking sheet. Bake for a total of 45-50 minutes - removing halfway to flip.
At the halfway point, flip the wings with a fork or tongs. Add slices of lemon to the baking sheet (optional) and bake for the last half of time.
Chicken will be done when, skin is golden brown, it's no longer pink inside, and reaches 165°F as an internal temperature when poked with a meat thermometer.
Make the lemon dressing: Add lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a small bowl.
Drizzle overtop of the cooked chicken and toss together.
Serve chicken with sliced lemons, drizzle more fresh lemon overtop if desired.
