Every time I visit my father in the States, we always go to a restaurant called Taco Mac. If I have any American readers, they will know what I am talking about, but I have yet to see one in Canada, or overseas. This restaurant is a bar and grill, geared towards sports. But what makes this place unique are two things I have never seen anywhere else. Their Brewniversity, where you get credits for trying different beers, and the Lemon Pepper Wings.

Now theirs are deep fried, but I had to try to recreate the delicious winged goodness when I got back from my most recent visit stateside. What a success. They’re easy, fairly fast and, unless you have no tastebuds, they taste great!

METHOD

1. Preheat your grill to 400°F, preparing for indirect cooking. If you have three burners, leave the middle one off. Only two? Turn off the one farthest from the tank when the grill is heated.
2. In a dish, combine the lemon pepper, bone dust, onion and garlic powder.
3. Toss the wings with the 2 tbsp. of oil, making sure that each one has some oil on it. Or you can brush them with oil instead.
4. Lightly coat each wing and place it on a greased baking sheet, or a soaked plank.
   

    

5. Place the baking sheet or planks on the un-lit side of the grill and grill-bake for 15 to 25 minutes. When the juices run clear and the outside is crispy.
   

    

6. Serve with your favourite beer and some veggies and dip!
   

    

Seriously this was a delicious recipe. I cannot believe I nailed it right off the bat like I did, and the best part was that without the deep frying, they were lightened up a little too. You don’t need a sauce to go with these wings. Just someone to enjoy them with.

Happy Grilling!
