Lemon-Garlic Chicken Wings Recipe image

This light and juicy chicken wings are irresistible with a crispy exterior. They marinate while the oven heats and cook in about a half hour. Their flavor is light and tasty! Note: the prep time is the approximate duration of the oven heating; the only time from you is combining the marinade!

Categories     Appetizer

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup Olive Oil
½ cup Lemon Juice
Zest of 1 Lemon
2 tablespoons diced Garlic Cloves
1 tablespoon plus 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
1 tablespoons plus 1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground Black Pepper
4 pounds Chicken Wings ((thawed if frozen))
Garnish: lemon wedges (, finely diced scallion greens)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper; whisk to combine. Add the chicken wings and spoon the marinade over any exposed wings. Rotate the wings in the marinade periodically bringing wings from the bottom of the bowl to the top and visa versa.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Fit two large rimmed baking sheet pans with foil (dull side up) and baking/cooling racks.
  • When the oven reaches 425 degrees, remove the wings from the marinade with tongs allowing any excess marinade to drain back into the bowl. Place them on the prepared racks, skin side up, leaveing some space between them. Bake for 35 minutes until the wings reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and juices run clear. Serve hot with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of scallion greens.

  • Use a baking sheet with a wire rack to allow air to circulate all around the wings, resulting in even cooking and a crispy texture.
  • Pat the chicken wings dry before seasoning to help the flavors adhere better and create a crispier exterior.
  • Don't overcrowd the wings on the baking sheet. Space them out to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy on all sides.
  • For a tangy and spicy kick, adjust the amount of lemon juice, garlic, and pepper to your preference.
  • If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the marinade.
  • Garnish the wings with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving for an aromatic touch.
