Best Lemon Herb Chicken Wings
previous post
Tender, flavorful chicken wings drenched in lemony herbaceous sauce making each bite so sensational, it’ll leave you wanting more and more! These lemon herb chicken wings are a wonderful family dish made with all real ingredients!
Okay, I don’t normally toot my horn, but in this case, I literally have to. So, here it goes, *TOOT TOOT!*, very loud, blaring, and proud! Okay, now that I got that out, I must tell you, my lemon herb chicken wings are the best wings ever! I know you’re probably thinking sure, everyone says that, but just wait until you try this recipe.
This Lemon Herb Chicken Wings recipe is one I’ve made for numerous occasions, mostly by request. Today I will share all the tips and tricks you’ll need to make the perfect herbaceous wings every time. The beauty of this recipe is that you can bake these wings or grill them, both ways are perfect!
The first key for the best results is to use as many fresh herbs as possible. My favorites to use are Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme.
Don’t skimp on the seasonings. Seasonings are essential to enhance the flavors of this dish. I use Paprika, Cumin, Chili Powder, and Dried Oregano.
Make your marinade from scratch using the ingredients I’ve listed. No need to buy a store brought marinade when you can make a high-quality, preservative-free, flavorful marinade at home. Instead of seasoning the chicken with the herbs and spices, add everything to a small bowl of olive oil and juice of a few lemons.
The most important tip! Make sure to use high-quality chicken. I buy my chicken from Buy Ranch Direct, a co-op of family-owned & operated ranches, dedicated to providing a consistent source of responsibly and sustainably raised meats that are completely organic grass-fed AND finished. They ship within the U.S. so you can have quality meat delivered to your door. I offer two box options at the Good Food Baddie VIP discount rate if you’re interested!
Now that you have your chicken and this delicious marinade, the next step is to transfer the chicken to a large bowl and all the wings are evenly coated in the marinade.
The last and final secret is time. If you have some extra time, make this dish ahead of time for the best results. Marinade the chicken for at least 2 hours before cooking to allow the flavors to seep through the chicken.
Now you know exactly how to make delicious wings. When you are ready to cook the wings you’ll simply transfer them into a large oven-safe dish and roast the chicken for at least 45 minutes.
My favorite side dish to have with these incredible chicken wings is mashed potatoes! I love serving the chicken wings with the mashed potatoes and pouring the lemon herb juices from the dish onto the potatoes! OH SO GOOD!

Hi Melissa! SO glad you like!
Lemon and chicken go together so well. This looks delicious and I can’t wait to make it.
Chicken is always on the weekly menu over here because my boys are huge fans. I have all the ingredients for this recipe so I’m going to make this tonight. Yum!
These lemon herb chicken wings are amazing. I’d only ever had spicy wings before, but these have so much flavor!
Well, “Toot, toot!” is right. These look glorious. I am always open to chicken recipes that mix it up a little and this definitely meets that challenge. Yum!
Thanks!! Hope you enjoy!
Yummy recipe! Thinking of something to prepare for Father’s Day, I guess I could add this too.
Sounds like a great idea! 🙂
That herb chicken wings with lemon and herb combo looks just awesome. Love to have this for weekend movie night.
Hi Swathi! That sounds like such a great idea!
My husband loves to make different flavors of chicken wings. He is going to love trying these!
Your lemon herb chicken wings look incredibly delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us!
Anytime! Glad you like!
Any tips on trying this recipe with chicken breasts instead of wings?
Hi Liz, you can make the chicken breast just the same! The only difference is that you will bake it in the oven for a little less time, about 35-40 minutes. A meat thermometer should read 165 degrees in the thickest part of the breast.
I was thinking about chicken wings for tonight dinner. I will make your recipe!
This looks like a winner. I bet my family would enjoy this very much. Thanks for the recipe. I’ve just saved it. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Thanks, Natalie! I hope you enjoy!
