Healthy Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings

Low Calorie Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings

Lose Weight By Eating
These Low Calorie Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings are just 65 calories each, or you can have half the batch (5 wings) for just 325 calories.
I like to add the red pepper flakes at the end, because I can do 1/2 with and 1/2 without. But if you really like the heat you can add them with the salt and pepper and let it bake in.
Special Tip: Be sure to see the low calorie dips and more yummy wing recipes in the links below!
