Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp butter unsalted
  • 4 Tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 Tbsp black pepper ground
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and chunks of unsalted butter into a saucepan.
  • Melt the butter over low heat while stirring it occasionally. This should take you roughly a minute and a half.
  • Keep cooking the butter over low heat for two more minutes.
  • Turn off the stove then add the black pepper and whisk until all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Transfer the sauce into a bowl.
  • Toss the cooked chicken wings in the sauce and serve while warm.

Notes

  • I make the sauce after I've baked / fried the chicken wings;
  • The sauce should be cooked on low heat for the best results;
  • If the sauce cools off and thickens, you can reheat it over low heat for 30 seconds;
  • The chicken wings you see in the photos are baked with a dedicated lemon pepper seasoning. This seasoning has a great flavor balance of lemon and pepper and also contains other ingredients. You could use it for the sauce but I deliberately chose ingredients that everyone has at home while making sure the sauce turns out amazing nonetheless.
