Title: Lemon-Pepper Chicken Wings
Categories: Poultry, Citrus, Herbs
Yield: 4 Servings
MMMMM--------------------------CHICKEN-------------------------------
2 lb Chicken wings; whole or
- separated in wingettes and
- drumettes
1/4 c Olive oil
1 ts Kosher salt
MMMMM------------------------LEMON PEPPER-----------------------------
2 Lemons
2 ts Coarse ground black pepper
1 1/2 ts Kosher salt
1 ts Dark brown sugar; packed
1/2 ts Garlic powder
1/4 ts Citric acid (optional)
Make The Chicken Wings:
Heat oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. On
the sheet pan, pat the chicken wings dry, and toss with the olive
oil and salt until evenly coated.
Roast until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy, turning
once halfway through, 30 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, Make The Lemon Pepper:
Finely grate about 2 ts zest from the lemons onto another parchment
paper-lined pan (a considerably smaller one works). Cut the lemons
into wedges and set aside for serving. Add pepper to the zest, mix
to combine and spread in an even layer. When the wings are done
roasting, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and turn off the
oven. Place the pan with the lemon zest and black pepper in the
still-warm oven, letting the lemon zest dry out and the black
pepper toast in the residual heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not
to burn or brown the zest; it may darken in shade slightly but
should still be a vibrant yellow.
In a small bowl, use your fingers to mix together the toasted lemon
zest and black pepper with the salt, brown sugar, garlic powder and
citric acid (if using) until well combined. Be sure to break up any
clumps of sugar. Sprinkle 4 ts of the lemon pepper over the wings
and toss until evenly coated. Taste for seasoning, adding more
lemon pepper as desired. (You can store the rest of the spice blend
in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.)
Transfer the seasoned wings to a large platter and garnish with the
lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
