Delicious Lemon Pepper Wings Recipe

Lemon Pepper Wings are a popular variation of chicken wings known for their zesty and tangy flavor. The wings are typically coated in a mixture of lemon zest, black pepper, and other seasonings, then baked or fried until crispy. Here’s a basic recipe you might enjoy:

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
• 1 tablespoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt to taste
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy.
3. Season: In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil until well coated. In a separate small bowl, mix the lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
4. Bake: Spread the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and cooked through, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
5. Serve: Serve the wings hot with lemon wedges on the side for extra zest.

You can also adjust the seasoning to your taste or add some fresh lemon juice right before serving for an extra burst of flavor!
