Lemon Pepper Wings Ingredients
All you need are a few fresh, delicious ingredients to make your Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings!
Chicken Wings: It is easiest to buy wings that are already separated into flats and drumettes. Be sure to pat your chicken completely dry with a paper towel before cooking or else they will be soggy instead of crispy!Baking Powder: This is the secret ingredient for obtaining that perfect crispy skin when baking wings instead of frying. Be sure to thoroughly coat each piece in powder. Also, make sure you are using baking powder and not baking soda or it will ruin your batch.Lemon Pepper Sauce: Making fresh lemon pepper sauce is the key to perfect, zesty wings. You can find what you will need to put the sauce together below.Butter: Adding butter to your sauce makes your wings rich and tasty.
What You’ll Need for Your Sauce
Making your Lemon Pepper Sauce is super easy but will taste like you got it from a restaurant!
Lemon Pepper Seasoning: Making homemade Lemon Pepper Seasoning adds a delicious touch to your wings. Plus, you can customize your own blend to taste!Lemon juice: You can use either fresh squeezed or bottled lemon juice.Honey: This gives the wings just the right amount of sweetness and perfect texture.
Making Your Wings
While these do have a longer baking time, they are hands-off once in the oven and all you have to do is turn them at the halfway mark. You could even use that time to whip up some of my Amazing Air Fryer French Fries as a quick and delicious side!
Baking Rack: Use a baking rack when cooking to ensure that the heat will circulate properly and crisp your wings all the way around.Frozen Wings: Never use frozen chicken wings- you’ll end up with a burnt outer layer and undercooked inside. Always thaw wings before cooking.Space Wings Out: When placing wings on your baking sheet, make sure they are not too close together or else you won’t have proper air flow to cook them thoroughly.
