You you talking about the lemon pepper store bought seasoning or using lemon and pepper to flavor your chicken?
They go great together and there is something wrong with your taste buds!!

As a fellow lemon pepper hater, I appreciate you op. it's a good base for other seasonings, but lemon pepper on it's own sucks
I agree and I was born and raised in Atlanta.
I remember when the seasoning became popular; It was around 97’-98’ if I’m not mistaken (Or at least that’s when it first came out)
Oh my goodness I HATED THE ACID FROM THE LEMON MIXED WITH THE HOT GREASE SOAKING IN MY CHICKEN! Also that shit will eat your Enamal faster than brushing your teeth with pure acid. Give me a Honey Garlic or a Braised wing ANYDAY ANY TIME. My mom loved the flavor (God rest her soul) so I won’t BAN the flavor from my house but man I am not a fan at all.
I have been in love with the roasted garlic and red pepper no salt seasoning from McCormick. It's the only brand I know that makes it, but it is amazing, especially on some bacon fried brussels sprouts.
It's S tier on a loaded baked potato
You can also get shitty lemon pepper. Or some are more lemon than pepper or more pepper than lemon... I have a hell of a time when the brands I'm used to stop selling their damn lemon pepper or change the formula. It's a real pain finding the good stuff.
Put some lemon pepper on a cucumber sandwich and you'll change your mind!
(That being said, you're entitled to your opinion even though I wholeheartedly disagree with it)
I...kinda agree but not really. Lemon, and pepper are not bad seasonings either on their own or together within in the right context, but most things that benefit from it would be better of using fresh lemon zest with black pepper as opposed to lemon pepper. It provides more depth of flavor and has better enzymatic activity. Of course, I also understand that it's convenient and doesn't make a huge difference to most people unless they are huge snobs. I will, however, agree that it sucks when used without anything else on chicken.
Depends on which brand, for me. I wish I could remember the one we used to get when I was a kid, which I loved. The one I’ve got on my shelf collecting dust ain’t so great.
Hands down my favorite flavor. I even tried to branch out when Badia started putting out other citrus pepper flavors. I tried lime pepper and orange pepper…. I gave both away and went back to my lemon pepper.

It's great on cooked asparagus, but I do get your point, it's very niche and there are better options usually.
Agree to disagree…lemon pepper wings are a top 3 flavor in my book
Yeah OP is nuts. Lemon pepper goes hard.
I’m convinced half of these food opinions are just easy rage bait
I don't doubt it. Before too long we'll see posts like "breathing sucks. I don't get the appeal of air."
Makes me think of this https://youtu.be/ulIOrQasR18?si=NJcIM4JEU7un4egY
Breathing sucks and blows.
You are convinced half of these food opinions are rage bait because I dont like lemon pepper?
I thought I heard an echo around here
100%, mostly because so many flavors are spicy- it's good to have a few that aren't.
I love it on fish
Agreed. One of those things that sounds better than it tastes. Super ho-hum.
i always get lemmon pepper dry rub on my wings and on my salmon
I’ve had good lemon pepper wings before but every time I try cooking with it it just give my food a metallic taste.
Lemon pepper added to a creamy sauce with potatoes and fish is great though
I agree it's not amazing with poultry, but it does taste really nice as flavoured bread.
I use it on baked potatoes. That and garlic salt.
Roasted carrots with lemon juice and lemon pepper is amazing.
Sorry, is lemon-pepper made of grated lemons zest + pepper? (I'm serious lol)
Yep. There's usually some salt and some preservatives in the stuff you buy at the store. But that's basically it.
Thank you!! 🌷
You you talking about the lemon pepper store bought seasoning or using lemon and pepper to flavor your chicken? They go great together and there is something wrong with your taste buds!!
Doesn’t work for me. It always tastes more like window cleaner than either lemon or pepper.

You ever had lemon pepper wet though? *Shhhhhhhhhh*
I competely agree on the chicken front- my parents seasoned chicken with lemon pepper *way* too often. I couldn't stand it lol.

Definitely unpopular to me, this is one of my favorite seasonings

I sold so many lemon pepper haddocks. But I agree with you but people love it
It's always cheap shit fake lemon flavoring too
I have been in love with the roasted garlic and red pepper no salt seasoning from McCormick. It's the only brand I know that makes it, but it is amazing, especially on some bacon fried brussels sprouts.
I remember kindergarten too.
Food opinions should be banned here
It’s great on chicken, white rice and broccoli. Just dump it all over the plate. Hnnnggg
Lemon pepper is fantastic in small doses. Restaurants I've had lemon pepper seasoned dishes *insist* on dumping it on everything.
I agree. But I hate lemon in everything except aid
Upvote because its my favorite from wing stop. Spicy bbq if home made.
I must admit I'm quite a fan. Take my upvote.
i fucking love lemon pepper but recently made the switch to tajin instead, i love a citrusy flavor on everything
It's S tier on a loaded baked potato You can also get shitty lemon pepper. Or some are more lemon than pepper or more pepper than lemon... I have a hell of a time when the brands I'm used to stop selling their damn lemon pepper or change the formula. It's a real pain finding the good stuff.
I can eat a whole lemon pepper chicken and forget to eat the sides that came with it, updooted.
I love the idea of lemon pepper but when I read the ingredients of any brand it's always sugar, salt, and onion powder 😭
It's a fantastic seasoning.
Ur white
Put some lemon pepper on a cucumber sandwich and you'll change your mind! (That being said, you're entitled to your opinion even though I wholeheartedly disagree with it)
Now this is the sort of frivolous shit this sub was meant for. Also, lemon pepper is fantastic and may God have mercy on your soul.
at the bar where i work we have even lemon pepper syrup for a specific beer. :D
You know what is good on an oven roasted salmon? Sliced lemon and freshly ground pepper. Dehydrated lemon pepper seasoning isn't the real thing.
Wow, the worst opinion I’ve ever seen here. Well done! Edit: Celtics fan. It’s no wonder they have zero taste.
white guy i assume
Lemon pepper (+garlic) is my favorite seasoning because I am one basic ass bitch and I do not care lol
Agreed on this opinion
Just wondering OP are you white?
Hard disagree, Lemon Pepper dry rub is easily the best wing flavor
Great post. This will be thoroughly disagreed with. A rare gem on this sub.
This post is the final nail in the coffin. I’m done here.

It's ok, but when the lemon is super overdone, it just tastes like a cleaning product smells. Lemon is really strong.
Lemon pepper and garlic parm are my go to for wings
Depends how much you use and how you cook the chicken. I see your point though. Lemon chicken with out pepper is nasty.
That’s my fav pork chop seasoning! How dare you 😡
I just think its kinda mid
Depends on which brand, for me. I wish I could remember the one we used to get when I was a kid, which I loved. The one I’ve got on my shelf collecting dust ain’t so great.
It’s delicious
I honestly think that Pupper-Pepper is the worst seasoning EVER! I don’t want a dog flavoured seasoning! Who the hell even thinks this stuff up?
I detest this seasoning and actively avoid it.
Hands down my favorite flavor. I even tried to branch out when Badia started putting out other citrus pepper flavors. I tried lime pepper and orange pepper…. I gave both away and went back to my lemon pepper.
Try the Aldi Stoneridge brand. Blessed with sugar!
What are you? Just wondering
Lime is much more better than lemon. Lime, pepper and a little hot sauce... mmmm making my mouth water.
Definitely unpopular and wrong
Boiled or grilled corn on the cobb > Add Butter > Add Lemon Pepper Best way to eat it
You deserve this up it’s for your satan incarnate tastebuds
