Hey, it’s AB from Smoking and Grilling! Today, I’m thrilled to share my secret to crafting the perfect Lemon Pepper Wings, a recipe that gives Wingstop a run for its money. I’ll guide you through every step of creating these mouthwatering wings that will leave you craving for more.
Ingredients
- 4.5 – 5 lbs Chicken Wings
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2/3 – 3/4 cup Melted Salted Butter
- 1 tbsp AB’s Homemade Lemon Pepper Seasoning or Your Favorite Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- 5 large lemons
- ¼ cup (40 g) peppercorns
- 2 tsp (5 g) Kosher salt
- 3 tbsp Butter- Melted
Instructions
Step 1: Getting the Flour Mix Ready
I kick things off by combining a cup of all-purpose flour with a teaspoon each of black pepper and kosher salt. It forms the foundation for the ultimate crispy wings.
Step 2: Coating Those Wings
Take your chicken wings and generously coat them with the seasoned flour. Shake off any excess flour to achieve that perfect crispy texture.
Step 3: Deep Frying Magic
To reach the ideal golden brown, deep fry the wings at 350°F for 5-7 minutes. The result? A color that promises a burst of flavor in every bite.
Step 4: Oven Finale
Give the wings an extra crispiness by transferring them to the oven at 350°F for an additional 10 minutes. It’s the finishing touch for perfection.
Step 5: Crafting the Lemon Pepper Sauce
In a bowl, I blend melted salted butter, and my special homemade lemon pepper seasoning. It’s a sauce that turns these wings into a culinary masterpiece.
Step 6: Tossing and Zesting Magic
While the wings are still hot, I toss them generously in the lemon pepper sauce. A final touch? Zesting fresh lemon over the wings for that extra burst of citrusy goodness.
