Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) – let the heat commence!
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Make sure those wings are fully coated; they need all the flavor love!
Spread the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re not crowded – we want them crispy, not sweaty!
Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crispness.
While the wings are baking, melt your butter and mix it with lemon zest and lemon juice. This zesty concoction is going to take your wings to the next level!
Once the wings are cooked to perfection, toss them in the lemon butter mixture. Make sure they are fully coated so every bite is a flavor bomb!
Serve immediately, and watch as your friends devour them like there’s no tomorrow!
