Lemon Pepper Wings

It’s nearly our favourite Sunday of the year, and the good people at Savanna Dry, the driest cider we’ve ever tasted, sent over these sweet recipes for lemon pepper wings, lemon salsa, and dill/cucumber/lemon dip. Notice a theme? In case you’re wondering, yes, these wings do pair well with a very dry cider. Word to the wise, though: you’re going to want to double, triple, or even quadruple the recipe. Ditto with the paired cider.

Lemon Pepper Wings

Ingredients
1 lb. chicken wings
1 tsp. lemon pepper
Oil

Directions
1. Heat oil in deep fryer. Place seasoning in a bowl or zip style bag and set aside.
2. Deep fry wings for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly browned.
3. Take cooked wings and place into seasoning and coat. Make sure the wings are still hot in order for seasoning to stick.

Lemon Dip

2 medium lemons
2 tbsp. minced onion
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1 tbsp. olive oil

3. Transfer lemon and juices to a small bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients and serve with tortilla chips, if desired.
