These lemon pepper wings roast at high heat, so the skin turns irresistibly crisp—no deep-frying required. A cool, crunchy romaine salad on the side adds balance, tossed in a creamy, caper-studded dressing with a bright hit of lemon for a refreshing finish. Serve everything with extra lemon wedges for a burst of citrus.

Directions
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush with olive oil. Pat the wings dry and put in a large bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon lemon zest, the paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and toss. Arrange on the baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden, crisp and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, capers, the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 3 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl; season with salt as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Toss the romaine and chives with 3 tablespoons dressing in a large bowl; season with salt. Serve the wings with the salad, lemon wedges and more dressing for dipping.
