Crispy Baked Lemon Pepper Wings

These Crispy Baked Lemon Pepper Wings are baked in the oven and then brushed with a buttery lemon pepper sauce. They make the perfect appetizer that we love serving with ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

How to bake chicken wings:

When baking your wings you want to bake them on a baking sheet lined with foil. A baking rack is ideal to but this wings can be backed without them you will just want to flip the chicken half way though.
I love using the baking rack so my chicken wings stay out of any liquid that might gather on the baking sheet. This way the chicken stays crispy. Like I said before if you don't have a baking rack so skip this recipe! It still will taste great just make sure to flip the chicken to keep it from getting to soggy.

How to make crispy chicken wings:

To make sure your chicken is nice and crispy you want to start with thawed chicken wings. I bought a large frozen bag and allowed it to thaw in the fridge overnight. Then I rinsed them and patted them all dry. The less water on the chicken the better.
I then patted them with flour for a crispy layer. They come out perfectly every time.
