Crispy, tangy, and deeply satisfying, these oven-baked wings hit every craving without any of the mystery ingredients that come with takeout or frozen options. When you're nursing, knowing exactly what's going into your food matters — and this recipe keeps things refreshingly straightforward with real butter, fresh lemon, and simple pantry spices. The baking powder trick is the secret weapon here: it draws moisture from the skin and delivers that shatteringly crisp texture you'd expect from a deep fryer, all from your oven. A bright, buttery lemon pepper sauce gets tossed over the hot wings right before serving, so every bite is coated in bold, zesty flavor. Garlic powder adds a subtle savory backbone, and a handful of fresh parsley on top makes the whole platter look like you actually tried. These come together with minimal fuss and zero questionable additives, which makes them a genuinely great option when you want something indulgent that still feels clean and intentional.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a wire rack inside a large baking sheet and lightly coat the rack with nonstick spray.
Pat the chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels — the drier the surface, the crisper the skin. In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with the baking powder, 1 tsp kosher salt, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
