My family and I love chicken wings, especially during football season. I just got tired of spending so much money on wings for our party that I decided to whip up my own version of Wing Stop's® lemon pepper chicken wings. The ending result was an empty platter and pleased bellies.

oil,

olive oil

lemon pepper seasoning (such as McCormick®)

chicken wings

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.


I followed all the instructions but i lightly floured chicken and fried it then tossed it. My household loves lemon so i squeezed a little bit of real lemon in the oil mix and tossed the wings. They were a hit!

Once I learned how to make these, Wing Stop and any other chain restaurant's lemon pepper wings just weren't right! One thing I would suggest is for every teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning, use 2 teaspoons of olive oil. The seasoning I have can be way too salty if it isn't measured this way.

This recipe is a big hit. My husband loved it. I had to had a tad more olive oil to mix the lemon pepper better.

These are incredible. Slight alteration - I season chicken and let it sit for an hour or so in fridge, then I shake the chicken in flour and use avocado oil to fry (healthy fat and great for frying since it's perfect for really high temperatures). After chicken is fried I brush with olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning and lemon juice mixture. Better than Wing Stops and way more healthy!!!

I follow the recipe and they were wonderful...next time i will try light flour on them.

I opted to bake versus fry the wings as a healthier option (375 degrees for 55 minutes).  They were delicious, but I would probably prefer a bit more lemon pepper flavor the next time.  I expected the wings to be less crispy than fried, but actually, the consistency was perfect.  Good recipe that we'll try again.

Wanted some great lemon pepper wings for football and these hit the spot! Hubby loved them too! Will be making these again.

This was a "10". I lightly floured them and I also put a little zest in the seasoning. My family was eating them as fast as I could produce them. They never made it to the platter! Great and so easy too!

I made these last night and they came out EXTREMELY salty. I definitely recommend using 1 part lemon pepper seasoning to 2 parts of oil/butter to toss your wings in. I don't know if the kind of seasoning I have has a s ton of extra salt but OMG had to wipe all my wings down with paper towels to get the excess off

Delicious chicken wings perfect for the next football party or just because!
