EASY LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE

 1kg (2 lb) chicken wings

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp salt

For the lemon pepper

2 lemons 

1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

1.5 tsp salt

1 packed tsp dark brown sugar

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) and line a baking tin with parchment paper.  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 crisp, turning once halfway through for 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the lemon pepper. Finely grate 2 tsp of lemon zest on another parchment paper and cut the lemons into wedges, and set aside. 

When the chicken wings are roasted transfer them to a large, mixing bowl and turn off the oven. Place the pan with lemon zest and black pepper in the still-warm oven for at least 5 minutes being careful not to roast it too much as it should have a vibrant yellow color.

Transfer the chicken legs to a warm dish, garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately
