Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds chicken wings, preferably fresh
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven or grill: If you're baking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). For grilling, prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
Prepare the chicken wings: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Toss with oil: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil.
Season the wings: Add the lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the wings. Toss again until all wings are evenly coated.
Bake or grill: If baking, spread the chicken wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through. If grilling, place the wings directly on the grill grates and grill for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally.
Serve: Remove the wings from the oven or grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
