Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings
Inspired by techniques from America's Test Kitchen and NYT Cooking.
These wings use the same baking-powder oven method as the plain oven-baked wings, then get tossed in a fragrant melted butter with coarse black pepper, lemon zest and juice instead of a dry rub.

Why this label?
33 g protein for 436 kcal = 7.6 g per 100 kcal, so protein gives about 30% of the energy. High Protein needs at least 20% (5 g per 100 kcal), the condition in the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
EU nutrition claims
- Sugar-free: 0.3 g sugars per 100 g (limit ≤ 0.5 g)
