Serving: Serve the grilled lemon pepper chicken wings with a side of dipping sauces like ranch, blue cheese, or a tangy honey mustard. They are perfect for pairing with a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or a side of crispy fries.
Storage: Leftover grilled wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes or until heated through and crispy. You can also reheat them on the grill for a few minutes.
Variants
Lemon Pepper Garlic Wings: Add a tablespoon of minced garlic to the marinade for an extra punch of garlic flavor.
Spicy Lemon Pepper Wings: For an extra spicy kick, add more crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.
Lemon Herb Wings: Enhance the flavor by adding fresh herbs such as thyme, oregano, or basil to the marinade.
Crispy Baked Lemon Pepper Wings: If you prefer to bake the wings, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden.
