For the Wings
  • 2 pounds Chicken Wings Use split wings for better cooking and crispiness.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps ensure the wings become crispy; substitute with avocado oil for a higher smoke point.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Key for achieving extra crispiness; ensure it's aluminum-free for best flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon-Pepper Seasoning Adds a zesty flavor; can be replaced with any dry seasoning blend.
  • 1 teaspoon Seasoning Salt Enhances overall taste; use regular salt or a low-sodium alternative if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Provides savory depth; fresh garlic can also work, but adjust to taste.
