Well the football season is upon us and what would the season be with out the proper tailgating ( or sofa-gating) foods. High atop that list of delectables are...Wings. (with a capital "W" no less) Now for most of you the buffalo wing, hot wing, or spicy wing would be your go-to flavor of choice...Not in this house. 'Round these parts Lemon Pepper is King! So read on and work your football food jelly to produce this zesty treat.
Easy Lemon Pepper Wings:
8 wings (cut in halves to yield 16 wing pieces)
Oil for Deep Frying
5 Tbs of Butter
1/2 Lemon
Garlic Powder (to taste)
Lemon Pepper (to taste)
*Deep fry wing pieces until golden brown
*Melt butter in a sauce pan or in the microwave while waiting for the wings to finish frying
*Remove wings from oil when done and set aside to drain if desired
*Pour melted butter into large mixing bowl
*Put drained wings in bowl with butter
*Sprinkle in Garlic Powder & Lemon Pepper then toss with butter
*Remove from butter mixture, set aside and serve
Tip: removing from the butter mixture after tossing keeps the wings from getting soggy.
Serve with carrot sticks & celery if desired or along side nachos.
You can also bake this recipe. Just skip the butter and season the raw wings with the garlic powder and lemon pepper before putting in the oven.
When do you use the half of lemon?
