Crispy, tangy, and loaded with bold citrus heat, these oven-baked wings are the kind of crowd-pleaser that disappears fast. The secret to that shatteringly crisp skin is baking powder — it draws moisture away from the surface so the oven does all the heavy lifting without a drop of oil for frying. The lemon pepper sauce is made entirely from scratch with real butter, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and coarsely ground black pepper, which means you're getting pure, bright flavor instead of the mystery syrups and additives hiding in most bottled wing sauces. Store-bought lemon pepper seasonings and pre-made sauces are notorious for sneaking in sweeteners you didn't ask for, so building the sauce yourself from just a handful of clean ingredients is a genuinely smart move. Every component here is exactly what it says it is — no fillers, no shortcuts, no label-reading anxiety. A finishing scatter of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon wedge right before serving pulls the whole thing together beautifully. These are the wings you make when you want something impressive that you can actually feel good about eating.

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.
