Lemon Chicken Wings Recipes

EASY LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Stir olive oil and lemon pepper together in a bowl.
• Fry the chicken wings in hot oil until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Toss hot wings with olive oil mixture to coat.

LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper; whisk to combine. Add the chicken wings and spoon the marinade over any exposed wings. Rotate the wings in the marinade periodically bringing wings from the bottom of the bowl to the top and visa versa.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Fit two large rimmed baking sheet pans with foil (dull side up) and baking/cooling racks.
• When the oven reaches 425 degrees, remove the wings from the marinade with tongs allowing any excess marinade to drain back into the bowl. Place them on the prepared racks, skin side up, leaveing some space between them. Bake for 35 minutes until the wings reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and juices run clear. Serve hot with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of scallion greens.

LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil and top each with a wire rack. Spray the racks with nonstick cooking spray.
• Stir together the salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the chicken wings and toss until evenly coated. Divide the wings evenly between the prepared racks, leaving space between wings. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate, uncovered, for up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F with the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. If the wings were refrigerated, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Bake the wings for 25 minutes. Flip the wings over and rotate the baking sheets from upper and lower oven racks. Continue baking the wings until crispy and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the wings are baking, stir together the butter, lemon pepper, honey, hot sauce and lemon juice in a large bowl.
• Transfer the wings to the bowl with the butter mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

CHICKEN WINGS WITH CUMIN, LEMON & GARLIC

Steps:

• Using a pair of sharp kitchen scissors, cut each wing at the knuckle into two pieces. Mix the garlic, lemon zest and juice, cumin and oil with plenty of seasoning, then tip into a dish with the chicken wings and toss to coat. Cover and put in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hr, or overnight if you have time.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, or heat an outdoor barbecue. Bake the chicken wings on an oven tray for 45-50 mins until crisp, or barbecue for 20 mins, drizzling over the honey for the final 10 mins of each method. Serve on a platter with plenty of paper napkins. Fill small bowls with olives, pistachios or almonds, dates and pickled chillies and flatbreads to serve alongside, along with the dishes below.

LEMONY ROASTED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse potatoes with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Spread chicken wings out on a baking sheet or cutting board in a single layer. Season both sides of wings generously with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with red-pepper flakes as desired.
• Transfer seasoned wings to a large bowl. Add olive oil, lemon slices, rosemary and garlic and toss well with (plastic-gloved) hands so everything is evenly coated.
• Place potatoes on the bottom of a roasting pan. Arrange seasoned wings over potatoes in a single layer. Add wine and cover pan tightly with foil.
• Bake, covered, for about 45 minutes, until potatoes are done. Remove foil and return the pan to the oven and bake about 20 minutes more, until wings are nicely browned. Using tongs, turn wings over and bake for another 20 minutes to brown the wings' other side. Sprinkle with dried oregano, and serve hot or at room temperature.

HONEY LEMON CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F
• Put the chicken wings in a baking dish, sprinkle with the salt and roast for 30 minutes.
• Put the lemon juice, garlic and honey in a small bowl and stir until the honey has dissolved.
• Pour over the chicken wings and stir until well coated. Return to the oven and cook for another 20 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Make the chicken wings: Heat oven to 400 degrees 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 teaspoons 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 teaspoons 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.
