Recipe Introduction
I thought they could use more lemon (maybe some zest?). I used drummies instead of wings and cooked them twice as long. We like our drummies to brown nicely and fall off the bone.
List of Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 shallots or 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped (2 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1/2 cup Newman's Own Old Fashioned Roadside Virgin Lemonade or your favorite
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
10 to 12 chicken wingsRecipe
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
To make the sauce:
In a small saucepan, heat the oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the shallots and rosemary, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the lemonade, pepper, and salt. Simmer over low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, until slightly reduced and syrupy. Set aside to cool.
To cook the chicken:
Cut each chicken wing into 3 parts. Cut the wings apart at the joints with heavy-duty kitchen scissors or use a sharp knife with a stiff blade, inserting the blade between the bones to cut the joint apart. Throw away the wing tips, which don't have much meat on them.
Place the wing pieces in a shallow ovenproof pan or dish and coat well with the sauce.
Bake until the skin is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Yield: 20 to 24 pieces
