Description

Hot Lemon Pepper Wings are perfectly crispy chicken wings coated in a flavorful sauce made with zesty lemon pepper seasoning, melted butter, spicy hot sauce, and a touch of honey. These wings offer a tangy, buttery, and spicy flavor combination that makes them an ideal appetizer for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the wings, ensuring they will cook evenly and become crispy.
  2. Prepare the Wings. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove any moisture, which helps achieve crispiness during baking.
  3. Coat the Wings. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated. The baking powder helps create a crispy skin.
  4. Arrange for Baking. Place the seasoned wings on a baking rack set over a baking sheet. This setup allows air circulation for even cooking and crispiness.
  5. Bake the Wings. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Prepare the Sauce. While the wings are baking, mix together melted butter, lemon juice, hot sauce, lemon pepper seasoning, and honey (if using) in a bowl to create a tangy and spicy sauce.
  7. Toss Wings in Sauce. Once the wings are baked, immediately toss them in the prepared sauce until they are well coated, spreading the flavors evenly.
  8. Serve. Serve the hot lemon pepper wings immediately for best texture and flavor. Optionally, garnish with lemon slices or parsley for extra freshness.

Notes

  • For an even crispier texture, you can air fry the wings instead of baking them.
  • Garnish with lemon slices or fresh parsley to add a burst of color and extra flavor.
