Alright, let’s get down to making these here lemon pepper buffalo wings. I ain’t no fancy chef, mind you, just a regular person who likes good food. And these wings? Oh honey, they’re good.
First off, you gotta get yourself some chicken wings. I like the ones that are already cut up, makes life easier, you know? Don’t get them fancy-schmancy organic ones unless you want to, regular ones work just fine. Wash ’em good, nobody wants dirty chicken.
Now, the secret to crispy wings, I heard, is this baking powder stuff. Not the baking soda, mind you, the baking powder. Says it soaks up the juice and makes ’em crispy. I ain’t no scientist, but it seems to work. So, take a big bowl and throw them wings in there. Then sprinkle on some of that baking powder, not too much, not too little, just enough to cover ’em good. Toss ’em around like you’re playing dice, make sure every wing gets a little bit of that powder magic.
Next, we gonna bake these wings. I ain’t got time for frying, makes a mess and stinks up the whole house. Preheat your oven, I dunno, 400 degrees or somethin’ like that. Get a baking sheet, put some foil on it if you don’t want to scrub later, and lay them wings out. Don’t crowd ’em, give ’em some space to breathe. Bake ’em for, I don’t know, maybe 40 minutes? Check on ’em now and then, you want ’em golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are bakin’, let’s get the sauce ready. Now, this ain’t just any sauce, it’s lemon pepper buffalo sauce, the best of both worlds! You gotta have your buffalo sauce, the kind you buy at the store, that orange stuff. And then you need lemon pepper seasoning. You can buy that too, or make it yourself if you’re feeling fancy. I just buy it, ain’t nobody got time for that. So, take a bowl, pour in some of that buffalo sauce, and then sprinkle in the lemon pepper seasoning. How much? Well, that’s up to you. I like it lemony and peppery, so I put in a good amount. You taste it and see if it’s to your liking. If it’s too spicy, add a little bit of butter, melts right in and makes it smoother.
Important stuff, listen up! Some folks like dry wings with just lemon pepper seasoning and some like ’em wet with buffalo sauce. I say why not both? We are combining them to get the amazing lemon pepper buffalo wings taste.
Okay, wings are done? They should be nice and crispy by now. Take ’em out of the oven and put ’em in a big bowl. Now, pour that lemon pepper buffalo sauce all over them wings. Toss ’em around again, make sure every wing is coated in that delicious sauce. And that’s it! You got yourself some lemon pepper buffalo wings.
