Materials

  • - 2 lbs chicken wings
  • - 2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • - 1 cup yellow rice
  • - 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • - 1 cup elbow macaroni
  • - 2 tablespoons butter
  • - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • - 1 cup milk
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - Chopped parsley for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with lemon pepper seasoning until evenly coated. Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  • While the wings are baking, prepare the yellow rice. In a saucepan, bring the water or chicken broth to a boil. Stir in the yellow rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • In a separate pot, cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the cooked macaroni to the sauce and stir until well coated and heated through.
  • Serve the lemon pepper wings with a side of sunshine rice and creamy macaroni. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
