The Best wingstop lemon pepper wings recipe
I have been making these Wingstop lemon pepper wings at home for years and they are always a hit. My kids love them even more than the takeout version because they get that same tangy, buttery flavor without the extra grease. This recipe is perfect for game day or a casual dinner because it is simple to put together and uses ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Plus, baking the wings instead of frying them cuts down on the fat and calories, so you can enjoy that crispy, zesty taste without the guilt. My husband says these are the best wings I have ever made, and I have to agree.
Wingstop Lemon Pepper Wings
These baked lemon pepper wings are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, coated in a tangy butter sauce with lots of lemon pepper seasoning. They taste just like the restaurant version but are healthier since they are baked.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Wingstop Lemon Pepper Wings
1. Can I use frozen wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen wings, but you need to thaw them completely and pat them dry before coating. Frozen wings will release water and not get as crispy.
2. What is the best lemon pepper seasoning to use?
I recommend using a good quality store bought lemon pepper seasoning that has no added salt or sugar. You can also make your own by mixing dried lemon zest and cracked black pepper.
3. Can I make these wings in an air fryer instead of the oven?
Yes, you can. Cook the wings at 400°F in the air fryer for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Then toss with the sauce as directed.
4. How do I store leftover lemon pepper wings?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crispiness.
5. Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the sauce up to 2 days in advance. Keep it in the fridge and gently reheat it on the stove or microwave before tossing with the wings.
