Flavorful and crispy chicken wings marinated in a zesty blend of garlic, lemon, and spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of chicken wings
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to your heat preference)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt.
  4. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring each wing is well coated.
  5. Let the wings marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for enhanced flavor).
  6. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even crisp.
  8. Check for doneness to ensure crispy skin and juicy meat.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for an added touch.

Notes

Consider serving with celery sticks and a zesty dipping sauce for balance and contrast.
