Oven-Baked Lemon Herb Chicken Wings
with Tzatziki
- Milk
- Tree Nuts
These crispy baked chicken wings give frying a run for its money! The wings are tossed in a mixture of oil, cornstarch, and a savory blend of herbs and spices, including garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper, to guarantee a delicious, crunchy crust. Once golden brown and cooked through, the wings are finished with a vibrant sprinkle of fresh lemon zest. They’re best served immediately alongside cool tzatziki for dipping and fresh lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. (Alternatively, preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees.) Place a wire rack on a foil-lined baking sheet; coat rack with nonstick cooking spray. TIP: No wire rack? Lightly oil foil or coat with nonstick cooking spray.
Pat chicken wings* dry with paper towels (drying the wings thoroughly will help with crisping). Refrigerate, uncovered, until oven has preheated.
Once oven (or air fryer) has preheated, toss wings in a large bowl with a drizzle of oil, cornstarch, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp oregano, ¼ tsp thyme, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper. (Save remaining garlic powder, oregano, and thyme for another use.)
After tossing, immediately arrange wings, spaced apart and skin sides up, on prepared baking sheet. Bake on middle rack for 20 minutes.
Once wings have baked 20 minutes, remove sheet from oven and carefully flip wings; return to middle rack and bake until golden brown, crisp, and cooked through, 12-15 minutes more. (If using an air fryer, coat basket with nonstick cooking spray and arrange wings side by side in basket; air-fry until cooked through, flipping halfway through, 15-20 minutes.)
While wings bake, wash and dry produce. Zest and quarter lemon.
Once wings are done, sprinkle lemon zest over top.
Arrange wings on a serving dish. Serve with lemon wedges and tzatziki on the side for dipping.
