Chicken wings and buffalo sauce are like two peas in a pod but I wanted something different and not slathered in sauce for a change. I decided to make a homemade lemon pepper seasoning that gives a fresh burst of flavor and a peppery kick to oven baked chicken wings. This definitely tastes better than store bought seasoning and does not have any added preservatives!
