Chicken Wings with Lemon Butter

I think the addition of the butter after baking simply brings the whole recipe together, and each bite will give you a lovely taste of zingy lemon, salt, pepper, butter and a little sweetness from the honey.

12 Chicken Wings
1 lemon, freshly juiced
1 Tbsp. pure honey

Seasoning:
1 lemon, freshly zested
1 tsp. black pepper, freshly cracked
1 tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. garlic powder

Garnish:
2 Tbsp. melted Butter
fresh parsley, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a tray with foil and lightly grease.

Cut the chicken wings in half so you have 2 pieces from each wing and place in a bowl. Add the juice of a lemon and the honey.

In a separate bowl, add all the ingredients for the seasoning above.

Transfer HALF of the seasoning ingredients to the chicken wings and rub everything together so the flavours go into the wings.

Arrange the wings on your prepared baking tray and cook for about 30 - 40 minutes or until the chicken is nice and golden and crispy.

5 Minutes before the end of cooking, melt the butter in a small bowl and add the remaining seasoning. Stir well.

Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to a bowl and pour the butter over the hot wings and give it a toss. Serve whilst still hot and enjoy!

Makes 4-6 servings.
