Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Rinse chicken wings and trim any excess skin. Do not remove the skin or you will lose the crispiness. Pat chicken dry.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour and seasonings. Add chicken and coat with the flour mixture.
Prepare a large cookie sheet by covering with foil and spraying with cooking spray. Top with a baking rack if you have one; otherwise just the foil is fine.
Arrange chicken on the cookie/baking sheet, at least an inch apart.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning once after about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile combine yogurt dip ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and. Store in the fridge until ready to see. Garnish with lemon zest and black pepper.
Serve with celery and carrot sticks and a side of Zesty Lemon Yogurt Dip or ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
If you want more saucy wings, you can mix 4 tablespoons of melted butter with a couple teaspoons of lemon pepper seasoning and toss the cooked wings in the mixture.
Make sure you are using baking POWDER and not soda as this makes a huge difference in taste and texture.
