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.
How To Make Lemon Garlic Chicken Wings
- Season - Add the raw chicken wings to a large bowl. Mix together avocado oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Pour this over top of the wings and toss together until evenly coated.
- Bake - Lay in a single file on the baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 45-50 minutes, flipping them half way through.
- Drizzle Dressing - Make the dressing using lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Drizzle overtop of baked chicken and toss together. Serve and enjoy!
