Easy Wingstop Lemon Pepper Wings Recipe to Try at Home

Wingstop offers an arsenal of flavor variations for fried chicken wings, but its lemon pepper wings attract the most acclaim. They’re fragrant, flavorful and versatile because everyone can enjoy them, unlike the spicy buffalo wings that are too hot for some. 

With this easy recipe, you can bust out those party wings for football season or any occasion. Besides, who has that much money to spare on wings at every get-together? 

Better known as ‘dry rub’ wings on the Wingstop menu, the secret to these lemon pepper wings lies in the wet baste. Without wetness, it’ll be hard to get the seasonings to stick to the wings. Thankfully, making the baste is simple—clarify butter and combine oil to prevent it from solidifying, followed by lemon pepper and salt.
