Preparation

Prep the Chicken Wings:
Clean and pat dry the chicken wings. Cut them into drumettes and wingettes if needed.

Marinate:
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Toss the wings in the marinade until evenly coated. Let them sit for 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
