LEMON PEPPER BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

1. Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings.
2. In a large bowl, combine the wings with the oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon, cayenne, paprika, salt and pepper. Toss until well combined. Let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or cover and marinate in the fridge all day.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap a cooking sheet in foil. Place a wire rack over the foil wrapped sheet. Spray wire rack with whole 30 approved cooking spray or grease with oil. Using tongs, evenly place the wings on top of the wire rack, reserving any remaining marinade in the bowl for later.
4. Place wings in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the skins are crisp and browned.
5. Meanwhile, when your wings are about 10 minutes from being ready, heat the remaining marinade (there really isn’t much of this but every little bit helps) in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat down to low and add 1 tbsp. of ghee, whisking occasionally and making sure it does not burn, until the wings are done.
6. When wings are done, remove with a spatula and into a bowl. Pour the marinade/melted ghee mixture over the top and gently toss once more. Garnish with a bit of chopped parsley (optional). Serve and enjoy!
