Ingredients

2 tbsp Lemon pepper seasoning

LEMON PEPPER SAUCE

6 tbsp Ghee or clarified butter
2 tbsp Olive oil
1¼ tsp Lemon pepper seasoning
⅙ tsp Salt

Instructions

FOR THE SAUCE

For the butter, you can either use clarified butter or Ghee. If making clarified butter, melt 1 stick (½ cup) of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, remove the pan from the heat, scoop the foam off the top of the butter and discard. Slowly pour the butter out of the pan into a measuring cup, making sure not to include any of the milky water at the bottom of the pan, which you will toss. Keep pouring the butter off the top into the measuring cup until you have 6 tablespoons of clarified butter.
Combine the lemon pepper sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Place the bowl in the fridge for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and set it aside. The sauce will maintain a good thickness at room temperature for coating the wings.

FOR THE WINGS

Preheat the pellet grill or smoker to 275°F.
Pat wings completely dry, then rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle a medium amount of lemon pepper seasoning onto the wings.
Place wings onto the bottom rack or in a pan placed on the bottom rack, ensuring they are not touching each other. Close the lid.

FLIP THE WINGS

After 30 minutes of cooking, flip the wings and smoke for another 45 minutes. Once done, remove from the smoker and place in a large bowl.

SAUCE THE WINGS

Add the sauce to the bowl with the wings and toss to coat the wings thoroughly.
Serve warm, and enjoy!
