Healthy Recipes Healthy Ingredient Recipes Healthy Meat & Poultry Recipes Healthy Chicken Recipes Crispy Oven-Baked Lemon-Pepper Chicken Wings 5.0 (1) 1 Review These crispy oven-baked chicken wings are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Baking powder helps to crisp up the skin in the oven—making them taste like they've been fried, but with less fat and calories. Tangy lemon and zesty pepper work together to add a balanced flavor profile to these easy wings. By Adam Dolge Adam Dolge Instagram Adam Dolge is EatingWell's Lead Recipe Developer.
