Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 lb chicken wings (or possibly abt 4 1/4 lbs chicken drumettes)
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 3 Tbsp. honey
- 3/4 tsp dry thyme
- 2 3/4 tsp grated lemon peel
- 2 1/2 tsp dry peppercorns coarsely grnd (black, green, pink, or possibly a combination) Salt to taste
Directions
- Cut chicken wings apart at joints; reserve tips for other uses. Rinse wings (or possibly drumettes) and place in a single layer in 2 pans, each 10 by 15 inches.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven till well browned, about 1 hour and 10 min (about 50 min in a convection oven); turn pcs occasionally with a wide spatula, and switch pan positions halfway through baking.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, stir together lemon juice, honey, thyme, lemon peel, and ground peppercorns.
- Drain and throw away fat from chicken wings. Consolidate the wings in 1 pan. Pour the lemon juice mix over wings and turn pcs with spatula to mix well.
- Return chicken to oven and bake till sauce thickens and sticks to wings, 12 to 15 min, turning pcs often and scraping pan to release any browned bits.
- Place wings in a chafing dish or possibly on a platter. Add in salt to taste. Keep chafing dish hot over a flame, or possibly put platter on an electric warming tray.
- This recipe yields 12 servings.
- Comments: If making up to 1 day ahead, cold, cover pan, and chill; reheat, covered, in a 300 degree oven about 25 min.
