Lemon Pepper Wings

Jfoxe's Note:

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

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4-6

Yield: 18.0 wings

• 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

Directions:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
