Products used: Stainless Steel Jelly Roll Pan, 1 Quart Saucepan with Cover
Ingredients
1 pound of chicken wings
Zest from 3 large lemons
4 teaspoons of freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon of garlic salt
1 tablespoon of baking powder
6 tablespoons of butter
¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Chopped chives for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, black pepper, and garlic salt. Reserve half of this mixture for the butter sauce and set aside.
Add 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the remaining lemon zest mixture and cover the chicken wings in the mixture.
Lightly spray your jelly roll pan with cooking spray, and place the wings on the pan. Cook for 25 minutes, then flip, cooking for another 20 minutes.
While the chicken wings bake, add the reserved lemon zest mixture to your 1 quart saucepan along with the butter and lemon juice, until it is all melted and combined.
Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the lemon butter sauce, and garnish with fresh chives.
