Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

4 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lemon

Optional: sliced lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow air circulation.

    Prepare the Chicken Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispiness.

      Coat with Baking Powder and Spices: In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Toss the wings in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.

        Add Olive Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the coated wings, then toss again to ensure they are well-coated.

          Arrange on Wire Rack: Place the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack.

            Bake the Wings: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

              Prepare Garlic Herb Sauce: While the wings are baking, heat a small pan over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

                Mix in Herbs and Lemon: Add the chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the sautéed garlic. Stir to combine, and then remove from heat.

                  Toss Wings in Sauce: Once the wings are finished baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic herb sauce over the hot wings and toss to coat them thoroughly.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy your crispy garlic herb chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce!
