Lemon pepper wings · Atlanta

Bone-in fried chicken wings dusted in lemon pepper seasoning, often glossed with butter or hot sauce. Atlanta's signature snack, a hip-hop fixture for two decades.

Lemon pepper wings emerged from Atlanta's Black-owned wing joints in the 1990s and went mainstream after a 2016 Donald Glover Atlanta TV episode in which a character orders 'lemon pepper wet'. The wet refers to butter-tossed wings finished with a hot sauce coat over the lemon pepper. American Deli, J.R. Crickets, and Atlanta hot wing standards built the format. Today the dish is a marker of Atlanta hip hop culture and on menus from corner takeout to Magic City strip club's famed chicken wings.
