  • 1 tsp White pepper
  • 1 tbsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Onion powder Mine is salted

The Marinade

  • 2 tbsp home made lemon seasoning Mine is already salty from the salted onion powder I used, so I didn’t need to add salt

  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1 tbsp Corn starch
  • 50 ml Olive oil

  • 1 pcs Lemon zested
  • ½ pcs Lemon Extract the juice
  • 1 tbsp Home made lemon seasoning
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Mayonaise
  • 1 tbsp Chopped parsley

Instructions

Lemon Seasoning

  • Pre-heat the oven at 65℃
  • Clean the lemons throughly, dry them and then grate them to extract the zests. Spread the lemon zest on a baking tray that layered with baking paper, and bake in the pre-heated oven until dry.
  • Once the lemon zest has dried, transfer it into the mortar.
  • Add in all the lemon seasoning ingredients; black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gently pound them together until well incorporated but not too fine. Do not over-pound, otherwise the lemon seasoning will be bitter.

Preparing the chicken wings

  • Pre-heat the oven at 220℃
  • Clean the chicken throughly with running cold water and then pat dry so that the marinade will be easily sticking to the chicken.
  • Transfer the chicken into a large bowl. Add in all the marinade ingredients; Home-made lemon seasoning, minced garlic, baking powder, corn. starch, and olive oil. Massage the chicken gently until the chicken well-coated with the marinade.
  • Place the marinated chicken wings on a baking tray that layered with a baking paper. Bake at 220℃ for 45 minutes or until golden brown and crispy (After 20 minutes, flip each wing over and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy).

Coating sauce

  • While waiting for the chicken to be baked, in a small bowl (I used a measuring jug because its nicer :D), add in all the wings coating ingredients; melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, home-made lemon seasoning, honey, mayonaise, and parsley. Stir in until well-combined.
  • Once the wings are done, transfer them in a large bowl while they are still hot, and pour in all the coating sauce. Shake them until well coated. Enjoy!!!
