Fructose Free Lemon Pepper Wings

Crispy baked wings with a bright, buttery lemon pepper sauce are the kind of crowd-pleaser that feels indulgent without any of the usual ingredient stress. Store-bought wing sauces and seasoning blends are notorious for sneaking in high-fructose corn syrup, honey, or fruit-based sweeteners — this recipe sidesteps all of that entirely. The sauce is built from just butter, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, and salt, so every component is straightforward and easy to verify. The baking powder trick is the real secret here: it draws moisture from the skin and helps it blister into that shatteringly crisp texture you'd normally only get from a deep fryer. A hot oven, a wire rack for airflow, and a good flip halfway through do the rest of the work for you. Tossed hot from the oven in that fragrant, tangy butter sauce, these wings hit every note — rich, zippy, peppery, and deeply satisfying. Whether you're feeding a game-day crowd or just yourself on a Tuesday night, this one earns a permanent spot in the rotation.
