Lemon Pepper Wing

Lemon Pepper Wings are a delightful flavored dish that showcases the vibrant essence of lemons and the spiciness of black pepper. These wings typically start with plump and juicy chicken wings coated in a seasoning blend of lemon zest, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and more.

Once coated, the wings are either baked, grilled, air-fried, or fried, resulting in a crispy outer layer that retains the essence of the seasoning. The combination of tangy lemon and the subtle heat of pepper creates a delightful flavor profile.

Lemon Pepper Wings can be served as an appetizer, party snack, or even a main course. They’re often accompanied by dipping sauces, enhancing the taste experience.

How to Make Lemon Pepper Wing

Making lemon pepper wings can be done in a few ways, but the simplest and most common methods are baking and using an air fryer.

The Air Fryer Approach:

1. Give your wings a good coating of lemon pepper seasoning. (For an even coating, put the lemon pepper seasoning in a large zip-top bag and add the wings. Shake the bag gently to coat the wings thoroughly).
2. Spray your air fryer with cooking spray.
3. Put the wings in at 400°F and cook for about 20 minutes.
4. Turn them over at the 10-minute mark for even cooking on both sides.

The Oven Method:

1. Do the same seasoning trick we talked about earlier.
2. Get your oven nice and warm at 450°F.
3. Toss in the wings and let them bake for about 40 to 45 minutes.
4. Just flip them halfway through so they get that yummy golden-brown look all over.

Whichever method you go for, you’re sure to enjoy the dish.
