Mings Lemon Chicken Recipes

LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; add wings and toss to coat. Spread coated wings in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Bake longer for a crispier skin.

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-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.

MING'S LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Roll in flour to coat.
• Mix 1 cup water, sugar, lemon zest, and juice in a saucepan. Set aside.
• Mix sweet rice flour with enough cold water to make a runny, pancake-like batter. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a wok to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Dip chicken into the batter. Deep-fry, a few pieces at a time, until light golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain oil and keep chicken warm on a serving platter.
• Place lemon mixture over medium-low heat. Dissolve cornstarch in 6 tablespoons water and pour into the saucepan. Stir until mixture reaches a syrupy thickness. Add egg yolk; stir quickly until completely combined. Remove from heat.
• Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and serve with the lemon sauce. Garnish with lemon slices.

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.
