LEMON PEPPER WINGS



Lemon Pepper Wings image

Yet another great variation on the ever-popular tailgating and sports-bar snack and very simple and easy to make. I have tried this with several brands of lemon pepper seasonings and found I actually liked the cheapest one the most. It was a tad twangier than the others and was more suited to my liking. I found it at my local food store in the seasoning section. I also tend to lean towards a lemon pepper seasoning that includes a white pepper and less black.

LEMON-GARLIC-PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS



Lemon-Garlic-Pepper Chicken Wings image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, appetizer

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds of chicken wings
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced garlic
salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into 3 sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
  • Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill, and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the wings cook, combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl.
  • When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides.

LEMON PEPPER WINGS



Lemon Pepper Wings image

I had the lemon pepper wings from Wing Stop and thought they were AWESOME so I was inspired to make something similar.

Provided by Jfoxe

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 18-24 wings, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 lbs chicken wings, cut into winglets
1/2 cup butter
1 -2 tablespoon lemon pepper (you start out with a tbs and add more as you taste it)
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel (I used packaged but fresh would be better)
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • The wings can be baked or deep fried. When I bake them I brush melted butter over them and season them w/ a little salt and pepper. I bake them for about 40-45 minutes and then I put them under the broiler to finish them and make them crispy. In a deep fryer I season them and then fry them for 10-12 minute.
  • While the wings are cooking, one stick of butter in a large bowl. It needs to be big enough to mix the sauce and toss the wings inches.
  • Add the seasonings to the butter. When I made this I added a little bit of each at a time until it tasted the way I liked it. The lemon shouldn't overpower the buttery flavor, it should compliment it. If it tastes to lemony, add more butter.
  • When the wings are done, drain them and then put them in the bowl with the sauce. with a large spoon, stir them until the sauce coats all the wings.
  • I didn't think these needed a dipping sauce, they had great flavor on their own but you could reserve some of the sauce and use it as a dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • For crispy wings, pat them dry before coating them in the lemon-pepper mixture.
  • Use a large bowl to coat the wings in the lemon-pepper mixture to ensure they are evenly coated.
  • If you don't have a baking rack, you can place the wings on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the wings for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing.

Conclusion:

Lemon pepper wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for game day parties, potlucks, or any other casual gathering. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and crispy dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give lemon pepper wings a try!
