In a large bowl add the chicken wings along with the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder.
Toss everything together until combined. Tip: if you don’t have a big enough bowl, you can use a gallon-sized ziplock bag to mix everything together.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the seasoned wings in a single layer.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the wings for about 40-45 minutes turning once halfway through. If you want to air fryer them, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and mix it with the lemon pepper seasoning.
Once the wings are baked, brush the lemon pepper butter over the wings with a silicone brush or toss the sauce and the wings together in a large bowl. Serve warm and enjoy!

Toss the wings well- Make sure that the wings get fully covered by the seasoning mix because this will help them get crisp on all sides.

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet- Leave a little room between each wing so that hot air can circulate and cook and crisp the entire wing.

Add the lemon pepper last- We add the seasoning last so that it has the most flavor. Baking it in will make it less prominent.

Use a silicone brush- You can get away with using a spoon to add the seasoning mixture, but it's so much more effective and easier to use a silicone brush.
