These lemon pepper chicken wings are crispy, brushed with lemon pepper butter and baked to perfection! They are perfect for an easy appetizer or main course that’s even better than the kind that you get at a restaurant. The best part is that these wings only require just a handful of ingredients. It’s going to be hard to just eat on of these wings because they’re pretty addictive. With football season basically here, they will be great for game day!
You can serve these wings as is, or with a side of ranch for dipping which I prefer 100%. Be sure to buy wings that are already cut into segments for this recipe, some stores call them party wings or party pack in the meat section. Now in regard to the cooking method, I prefer to cook the lemon pepper chicken wings in the oven vs. frying them as its much healthier, definitely just as crispy and they still taste amazing!

I’ve made lemon pepper wings before with just so-so results. But your recipe really sounded easy, so I took a chance and made them today. WOW! I used McCormick lemon pepper seasoning and the melted butter and it was great. Even hubby loved them, which is unusual as he is not a lemon guy. Keeper!
