Should lemon pepper be Georgia’s official chicken wing favor? Some lawmakers think so. 

Lemon pepper wings, a staple of Atlanta restaurants and recent meme culture, could soon get official recognition at the Georgia Capitol.

House Bill 1013, introduced by Rep. Eric Bell, a Jonesboro Democrat, would make lemon pepper wings the official state chicken wing flavor for Georgia, adding to the list of food-related bills that have been introduced in recent years.

Bell said his idea came from traditions that were familiar to many Georgians. The Legislature has recently designated state foods ranging from Brunswick stew to cornbread, and Bell saw an opportunity to highlight something he believes is just as culturally significant.
