## Ingredients

- 20 g Zitronenabrieb (von zwei Bio-Zitronen)
- 20 g Salzflocken
- 7 g schwarzer Pfeffer (grob gemahlen)
- 3 g Knoblauchpulver
- 3 g Zwiebelpulver

## Instructions

1. You can prepare the lemon pepper spice mixtures in two ways, differing only in the lemon peel.
2. Use fresh lemon zest for an intense aroma, but consume the mixture immediately.
3. Alternatively, use dried lemon zest for longer shelf life and storage.
4. To make dried lemon zest, wash and dry organic lemons.
5. Remove the peel with a zester, which works well with a Microplane kitchen grater.
6. Place the lemon zests on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Dry the zests in an oven or dehydrator at 80°C for approximately 45-90 minutes, depending on their thickness.
8. Once dry, let the zests cool completely before further processing.
9. Alternatively, you can purchase dried lemon peel ready-made.
10. If using fresh lemon zest (as done for this recipe for immediate use with chicken wings), reduce the amount of lemon zest by about half if using dried.
11. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix them together.
12. If using fresh lemon zest, the pepper mixture should be used promptly as it will clump due to the moisture in the lemon peel.
