Chicken wings aren’t just game day food, they’re one of my families favorite dishes! My General Tso’s style chicken wings is forever on repeat in my house, and I wanted to make a version that was a bit more tart, as we’re also big lemon fans. These lemon garlic chicken wings are the perfect wings! They’re crispy, tart, sticky, and just so darn good. Serve them for game day, or as a main dish with a side of rice and broccoli.

Tips & Tricks

2. Add the chicken wings to a large bowl and pat them dry. Season with salt and pepper and toss with arrowroot until coated.
