Lemon Pepper Wings

Crispy chicken wings that have a lemon pepper dry rub and a buttery lemon pepper sauce brushed after they are baked.

I love cheese pizza but we don't eat it a lot because Nick doesn't like it because there are no toppings. So to compromise, I'll make wings so we have a meat with the dinner. When our family (my husband's three siblings and their spouses and kids and his mom and dad) gets together, we tend to get Wingstop. A family favorite is the lemon pepper wings. We get them every single time. I had to find a recipe and see if we could get some of the magic with homemade wings!

What you need:

For the Wings:

• 24 chicken wings

For the Rub:

• 2 Tbsp. baking powder
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon pepper seasoning
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. onion powder
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  

For the Lemon Pepper sauce: 

• 3 Tbsp. melted butter
• 1/2 Tbsp. lemon pepper seasoning
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. honey
  

Directions:

1. Pat dry chicken with paper towels.
2. For the Rub: Whisk together ingredients in a bowl. Add half of the rub to a large gallon size zipper bag.
3. Add half the wings to the zipper bag and shake to coat. Place on a greased foil-lined pan.
4. Repeat with other half of rub and wings. 
5. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes on the upper middle rack.
6. Turn on broiler and broil each side of the wing until crispy.
7. For the Lemon Pepper sauce: Whisk together all ingredients in a bowl. Brush on cooked wings.
8. Serve with remaining lemon pepper sauce or with a dipping sauce of your choice.
