Great video. Used to work at wing stop. We used to fry the wings one time for 14minutes straight out of the bag. No seasoning before frying. This was definitely but better

[@paul022887]

I havent tried Wingstop, even though there are plenty around. Lemon Pepper Wet at the place I go too, far too often, is Lemon Pepper seasoning in a Buffalo sauce. Adds a little heat and is fantastic.

[@TheStormsDagger]

I've been a fan of Wingstop. If there's a flavor to recommend. I'll go with the mango habanero. Oh if you had to choose. Would you pick Drums or flats?

They have an entire team of professional chefs that make these recipes to adapt to everyone's palette. A good chef makes recipes for others not themselves. Wingstop has this down to a science.

[@Rizarjay]

Would love to see you try and tackle Wingstop's Louisiana Rub. It's my favorite flavor, and I've tried to recreate it but haven't been able to nail it.

Make your favorite meal, no time to cook, take a 5-10 minute trip and feed yourself or the whole family. As someone who loves to cook these videos are also extremely informative and helpful when getting ideas or just looking for a recipe. Keep up the awesome work!

[@ambernguyen6814]

The only wings from wingstop I’m curious about is Brazilian citrus, that was boooomb. Josh should do but better with discontinued flavors 👀

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

The thing with discontinued products is he can't get the control for comparison. If it's smth like the McRib that comes back occassionally then at least he can get one, but if it's just completely discontinued then he has nothing to compare his work to

[@es.flowers2803]

Perhaps it could the start of a new series. Like "discontinued...reimagined" an exploration of the origins of those flavors. Brazilian citrus was like non other ! Still hoping they will bring it back.

Air Fryer version for those who want: Same recipe, but for the cooking, throw them into your air fryer for about 13 minutes, drizzle a little oil (Or no oil, but the oil gives it that deep fried taste) and toss halfway through the cooking process.

Here's a tip: You can also leave lemon skin beforehand on your radiator or whatever heater you use, it will last longer but the flavor will remain almost intact, plus your home will smell nice. The only downside, of course, is being limited to cold days/seasons only.

Got around to seeing this one and excited, not just about having a new wing option to make for our hunting camp, but for the homemade lemon pepper seasoning to use on all sorts of things! Just a heads up for anyone making the seasoning according to the recipe… lemons here are $1ea (during summer, down south bordering FL where lemons are local even) and the amount of ground zest 8 lemons (I had one already before buying the other 7) yielded about 2.5 tablespoons. Doing the math, that’s 8 bucks just for the zest alone. 😳

[@WonkaVision661]

Keep the wings coming.

[@michigan_joe]

If you have a homebrewing store near you, they will almost always have citric acid. Also, in a lot of big box stores (Meijer, Walmart, etc) the citric acid may be with the canning equipment instead of the spice aisle!

[@PongGod]

I love Wingstop's lemon pepper wings, but damn, that wet version you made looks INCREDIBLE!

[@germanpantiga9924]

It comes to a time when you did it better so many times, that I´m already convinced that it isn´t worth spending money in low quality meals when I can do them exponentially better by just giving it a little extra work. Congrats, you succeded in making me a "but better" guy.

[@mezz09smezzanine]

So I don't think we have Wingstop here in England (not sure, I rarely eat fast food) but this recipe is almost identical to one of my favourites. Only differences are that I use drumsticks not wings, I use more garlic and I soak my chicken in lemon juice over night to marinate before cooking in the lemon pepper butter. I have made them for parties and seen guests fighting over the last one more than a couple of times. Total winner.

[@paulwagner688]

Honestly, making better wings is easy. All you need is a balance of the seasonings and cooking technique. You can even do them in the oven.

[@neoasura]

I use a air fryer nowadays, tossed with a little oil half way, you'd have a hard time telling they weren't deep fried. And its so much easier with less of a mess to clean up.

If you do another wing chain, I suggest you tackle my favorite chain sauce of all time. Zaxby’s “Hot Honey Mustard”. It’s a spin on a Carolina Gold/Gold Fever wing sauce….which you don’t see on too many menus of independent wing places make, much less massive chains. The wings themselves are okay… but I love that sauce, but as always would love to see a “but better” treatment of.

it’s the other way where i’m at. the b dubs wings here are flavorless small and dry. but the wingstop ones are hot (like fresh from the fryer), they’re huge, juicy, crispy, and have a lots of sauce/seasoning. it’s like they actually put effort into their wings.

[@user-ts7pm7if2i]

It’s funny how it’s the opposite for many. It may be because the wing stop here is less than a mile from the Buffalo Wild Wings and opened last year, whereas our b dubs has been around for almost a decade? B dubs here just keeps adding flavors and their wings are always super fresh.
