Recipe View 5 mins Remove from the oven and let the wings rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra lemon zest and a sprinkle of black pepper, if desired. (5 minutes)

For maximum flavor, marinate the wings in the lemon pepper mixture for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, in the refrigerator.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet – this will steam the wings instead of allowing them to crisp up. If necessary, use two baking sheets or bake in batches.
Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon zest and black pepper to your personal preference.
Serve these wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or a spicy aioli.
