These Oven-Baked Hot Lemon Pepper Wings are crispy, flavorful, and packed with the perfect balance of heat and citrus. Because they’re baked instead of fried, these wings are a lighter, healthier alternative to traditional wings while still achieving a delicious crispy texture. Perfect for game day, family dinners, or whenever you’re craving a flavorful wing recipe that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

• Wings:
• 2–3 lbs party wings
• 1/2 tbsp onion powder
• 1/2 tbsp garlic powder

• Drizzle with olive oil and toss until all wings are evenly coated.
• Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet or wire rack.
