Ingredients
  

For the wings
  • 4 pounds party chicken wings (36 to 44 separated pieces) Wings should be thawed if frozen.
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning Plus 1 teaspoon if your seasoning does not contain salt.

Mixing the Coating

Notes

For maximum crispiness, pat the wings dry before seasoning. Adjust spice levels as necessary, and consider marinating the wings for a few hours for deeper flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, reheating in the oven to regain crispiness.
