Lemon Honey Wings

Super Bowl time again. That means wings! These are sweet and sticky and very good.

Lemon Honey Wings

Servings:  Dozen wings

Hardware:  Kitchen scissors, measuring spoons and cups, a baking sheet, a cooling rack (or foil), a sauce pot, wooden spoon, a large bowl

Time: Prep-10 minutes, Marinate-4-6 hours, Cook-50 minutes

Ingredients:

• 12 wings
• ½ + ½ stick of butter softened
• 4 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
• Salt
• ¼ cup honey
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• Cooking spray

1.  Use the kitchen scissors to separate the flaps from the drummettes. Also snip the points from the flaps. Refrigerate until needed. Remove the wings from the fridge about ½ hour before cooking.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°. Place the cooling rack over the baking sheet. If you don’t have a cooling rack, just line the baking dish with foil. Spray liberally with cooking spray.
3. Liberally salt the wings. Mix ½ stick of the butter with the lemon pepper. Rub the wings with the butter mixture until they are completely coated.
4. Lay the wings in a single layer on the cooling rack place in the oven.  Cook for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for 20 more. If you prefer crispier wings turn the broiler on for 5 minutes or so. Make sure to monitor them so they don't burn. Turn the oven off and leave in the warm oven for 10 minutes.
5. While the chicken is cooking, place the remaining butter, brown sugar, and lemon juice into the sauce pot.  Heat on medium high, stirring until the butter is completely melted.
6. Remove the wings from the oven and toss in the honey sauce. Serve warm.
