Lemon Pepper Wings

Gameday just got a little bit better! Whip up a batch (or two) of these crispy lemon pepper wings!

Chicken wings with extra crispy skin (don’t worry, no deep fryer needed) are tossed in zesty buttery lemon sauce and seasoned with freshly cracked pepper. Wing perfection.

We love this take on a popular snack staple made with simple ingredients. These are nice and tangy, lip-smacking good!

Cook these in the air fryer or in the oven.

Lemon pepper and lemon zest add lots of great flavor to these.

They require very little prep and are easy to make.

Sprinkle on some parmesan cheese if desired.

CHICKEN WINGS Purchase split wings (little drumsticks and the flat parts) to save time from splitting whole chicken wings yourself. These can be made with fresh or frozen wings. Frozen wings will need more time to cook.

SEASONING These are seasoned with lemon pepper seasoning. If using store-bought, taste it before adding (we prefer homemade lemon pepper seasoning). Some brands can be incredibly salty so you might need to reduce the amount you add to the wings.

LEMON PEPPER BUTTER SAUCE Once cooked these are tossed with lemon butter and then generously sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper. SO good! If you have a pepper grinder, now is the time to use it!
