What is a Super Bowl Party without chicken wings? Feeling confident that my favorite defensive NFL player, Clay Matthews would win a Super Bowl ring, I felt motivated to take a shot at making some homemade lemon pepper wings for our party-ready kids and their friends who were invited over to watch the game.
I fried the wings without flour, a concept that I learned from watching Fox 5 Atlanta. It worked. However, the lemon pepper seasoning that I used did not. I should have also made note of the seasoning that the chicken wing extrordinaire used on the news special. The lemon was overwhelming. I felt like drinking a gallon of water after taking just a tiny bite of the first wing. I almost gave up like that Chicago Bears quarterback. What's his name? But I didn't. After the Packers scored their second touchdown, I was pumped up and at that point I knew without a doubt that the Lombardi trophy would return home. So, I did the same. Well, almost.
I went back to what I know best. A little Lawry's, a little pepper, flour and lots of love. The kids, both Packers and Steelers fans, loved them. Welcome home Lombardi and welcome back to the Simple Chicken Wing.
