How to make lemon pepper seasoning from lemon peels

Remove the white inside part (pith) from the lemon peels to prevent bitterness.

Cut the lemon peels into small pieces and spread them evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Dry the lemon peels in the oven at 80-100°C for about 1 hour, flipping them halfway through.

The peels are ready when they are dry, slightly curled, and snap easily instead of bending.

Let the peels cool completely, then add them to a grinder.

Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes and paprika to the grinder.

Blend until you achieve a slightly coarse seasoning texture.

Store the homemade lemon pepper seasoning in an airtight jar.

In a bowl, generously season the chicken wings with your homemade lemon pepper seasoning.

Add a bit of oil and mix thoroughly to ensure the wings are evenly coated.

Bake the chicken wings until they are golden brown and crispy.

Serve the delicious lemon pepper chicken wings, optionally with a dipping sauce, and enjoy.
