A Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings Recipe for Game Day!
Football season is officially here, so you’re definitely going to need a few appetizer recipes on hand. In this post I’m sharing a recipe for Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings. These Lemon pepper wings are simply amazing. They’re zesty, crispy, and unbelievably moist. For these wings, I will be using very few ingredients, and most of the ingredients (if not all) you probably have on hand.
So first thing first. Unlike most lemon pepper chicken wings, this version is battered and fried. I love the combination of the zest from the lemon and the crisp fried skin. I deep fried the chicken in corn oil, but you can use another vegetable oil such as canola, or even peanut oil if you choose. Here’s the recipe!
Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp lemon pepper
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp dried parsley flakes optional
- * enough oil to deep fry in
Instructions
- Pour the lemon juice over the chicken, then season the chicken with 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp of onion powder. Use your hands to toss the chicken, and make sure it is well coated with the seasonings.
- In a separate bowl, add 1 1/2 cup of all purpose flour, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp of lemon pepper, and 1 tsp parsley flakes. Use your hands or utensil to make sure that the seasonings are well threw out the flour.
- Coat the chicken wings with the seasoned flour.
- In your deep fryer or pan, pour in the vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 350-360 F.
- Place the chicken into the hot oil, and fry until it’s golden ( make sure it’s done, by piercing the chicken down to the bone with a small knife or fork. If no blood is visible, the chicken is done).
- Place the chicken on a paper towel lined cookie sheet or plate, for two minutes.
- Serve.

I like serving these wings with ranch, BBQ and bleu cheese dip. You can also dress up your platter with lemon wedges, and veggie sticks. I hope that you give this recipe a try!

Do you know how to make Sweet Potato Cobbler? It is a favorite Southern recipe. My grand mom used to make it a lot, and hers did not have “Brown Sugar” in it. I just wanted to know are there any other cooks that makes this recipe. If so, please let me know. I like trying other recipes, but the Brown Sugar would be a new one even for me.
Thanks

Oh by the way, the spaghetti was wonderful with the squash instead of pasta with your sauce.

Hi I love your website so I tried this one but my seasoning burned before my chicken was done. What did I do wrong? I used canola oil please help my husband loves these wings.
Perhaps the oil was too hot… I don’t know what could have gone wrong 🙁
OK thanks ill try it again with the oil on a lower temp
