Crispy Baked Lemon Pepper Wings
They're baked and as crispy as when they're fried. These crispy baked lemon pepper wings are definitely easier to make than fried ones since you don't need to be present during the whole cooking time. Using fresh lemon really brings out the lemony flavour. Give it a try!
