Pep ’n Zest Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings on the Braai

Ingredients

• 1 kg chicken wings
• 2½ tbsp BlixSam Pep ’n Zest (Lemon Pepper)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 3 tbsp butter, melted
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Extra Pep ’n Zest, for finishing
• Salt, only if needed
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Method

1. Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towel.
2. Place them in a large bowl with olive oil, 2 tbsp Pep ’n Zest, lemon juice and smoked paprika. Toss until thoroughly coated.
3. Prepare the braai with medium-hot coals. You don’t want the heat too fierce, as the wings need time to cook through without burning.
4. Place the wings on the grid and braai for 18–25 minutes, turning regularly, until golden, lightly charred and completely cooked through.
5. Meanwhile, mix the melted butter with garlic, lemon zest and ½ tbsp Pep ’n Zest.
6. During the final 2–3 minutes, brush the wings lightly with some of the Pep ’n Zest garlic butter.
7. Remove the wings from the braai and immediately toss them with the remaining garlic butter.
8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and an extra dusting of Pep ’n Zest.
9. Serve piping hot with fresh lemon wedges.
