Garlic powder – Adding a dash of garlic powder helps make these wings ultra aromatic and flavorful.

Chef’s Tips

• Make sure your seasoning is paleo or Whole30-compliant if you’re on either diet.
• You can use this same baking method with other types of seasonings. Try it with buffalo sauce, BBQ sauce, or however you like your wings.
• If you can’t find any lemon pepper seasoning, combine some lemon zest with some freshly ground pepper.
• Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
