Chicken Wings

I have made this yummy recipe several times on chicken wings and legs, but most recently we tried it as a marinade for a whole chicken we then oven roasted. It turned out divine.

Chicken Wings

Ingredients:
-4 lbs Chicken wings
-1/4 c Fresh Lemon juice. (The first time I made this recipe I did not have lemon juice so I used 1/4 cup vinegar. So now I use 3 Tbsp Vinegar and 2 Tbsp of the Lemon Juice.)
-1Tbsp ground pepper
-1Tbsp garlic powder
-1Tbsp onion powder
-2tsp salt
-2tsp Thyme
-1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper (one of the times I made it I substituted Cumin-so good.)
-1/4 c unsalted butter. (melted)

Directions:
*Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
In a large bowl toss wings with lemon. Add spices, crushing the thyme between your fingers as you go. Add melted butter. Stir mixture thoroughly. Arrange in a single layer on the sheet.
Cook 20 minutes then rotate sheet and flip wings. Cook 10 minutes more until browned and cook through.

Enjoy!

When we cooked the whole chicken we made a mini Thanksgiving meal out of it. So we served it with a cornbread stuffing, yams and green beans. It was a wonderful meal.

**If you choose to make a whole chicken and just use the mixture as a marinade make sure that you follow the directions for cooking a whole chicken. The cooking temperatures and times here are just for making the wings.**

Many blessings on this fine brisk evening.--Kate
