Lemon Pepper Seasoning

Pellicano's Premium Lemon Pepper Seasoning

The Perfect Balance of Zest and Spice

Pellicano's Premium Lemon Pepper Seasoning is a staple that belongs in every pantry, offering a vibrant, balanced flavor that goes far beyond simple lemon and pepper. We've engineered this blend for maximum impact, ensuring a high-quality, authentic citrus flavor that stays bright during cooking. The secret is the combination of Citric Acid, which provides the enduring tartness, and natural Lemon Oil, which delivers the pure, aromatic zest that elevates the final dish.

This powerful duo is married with a robust base of coarse Ground Black Pepper, along with savory depth from Onion and Garlic. The small amount of Sugar aids in caramelization, while Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) rounds out the blend with a crucial layer of deep savory umami, making the finished product addictive. The resulting seasoning delivers an unforgettable flavor profile: bright, zesty, peppery, and richly savory.

Versatility for Every Course

Lemon Pepper is a universal enhancer that works across the entire menu:

• Poultry: The classic application. Use it to coat chicken wings before baking or deep-frying, rub generously under the skin of a whole roasting chicken, or dust over grilled chicken breasts.
• Seafood: Excellent on delicate fish like salmon, cod, or tilapia. It also makes a fantastic seasoning for boiled shrimp or crab legs.
• Vegetables & Sides: Toss steamed or roasted green beans, broccoli, or asparagus with butter and this seasoning for an easy gourmet side. It’s also incredible sprinkled over homemade french fries or potato wedges.
• Salad Dressings: Whisk into olive oil and white wine vinegar for a quick, zesty vinaigrette that adds depth beyond basic lemon juice.

Fun Fact: The Power of Citric Acid

The history of lemon pepper seasoning is surprisingly modern, popularized in the 1950s and 60s. Its success relies heavily on Citric Acid—the naturally occurring acid found in citrus fruits. While fresh lemon zest and juice quickly lose their potency and can turn bitter when dried or exposed to high heat, the use of crystallized Citric Acid ensures the tart, sharp lemon punch remains potent and stable through grilling, frying, and baking, guaranteeing that zesty bite every time.

Easy Recipe: Crispy Baked Lemon Pepper Wings (Serves 4)

This simple method guarantees crispy, flavorful wings with minimal effort, making the seasoning the star.

Ingredients:

• 2 Lbs. Chicken Wings (Split)
• 2 Tbsp. Pellicano's Premium Lemon Pepper Seasoning

2. Coat: In a large bowl, toss the wings with Olive Oil. Then, sprinkle the Baking Powder and Lemon Pepper Seasoning over the wings. Toss thoroughly until every wing is evenly coated.
3. Bake: Arrange the wings on a wire rack placed over a foil-lined baking sheet (this allows air to circulate, guaranteeing crispiness). Bake at 425°F for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
4. Serve: Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of cool ranch or blue cheese dressing.
