Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, appetizer

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds of chicken wings
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced garlic
salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into 3 sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
  • Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill, and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the wings cook, combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl.
  • When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides.

LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE



Lemon-Garlic Chicken Wings Recipe image

This light and juicy chicken wings are irresistible with a crispy exterior. They marinate while the oven heats and cook in about a half hour. Their flavor is light and tasty! Note: the prep time is the approximate duration of the oven heating; the only time from you is combining the marinade!

Provided by Toni Dash

Categories     Appetizer

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup Olive Oil
½ cup Lemon Juice
Zest of 1 Lemon
2 tablespoons diced Garlic Cloves
1 tablespoon plus 1 ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
1 tablespoons plus 1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground Black Pepper
4 pounds Chicken Wings ((thawed if frozen))
Garnish: lemon wedges (, finely diced scallion greens)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper; whisk to combine. Add the chicken wings and spoon the marinade over any exposed wings. Rotate the wings in the marinade periodically bringing wings from the bottom of the bowl to the top and visa versa.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Fit two large rimmed baking sheet pans with foil (dull side up) and baking/cooling racks.
  • When the oven reaches 425 degrees, remove the wings from the marinade with tongs allowing any excess marinade to drain back into the bowl. Place them on the prepared racks, skin side up, leaveing some space between them. Bake for 35 minutes until the wings reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and juices run clear. Serve hot with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of scallion greens.

LEMON-PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS



Lemon-Pepper Chicken Wings image

Lemon pepper usually refers to a store-bought spice blend of dehydrated lemon zest, black pepper and other seasonings, but the beloved pantry staple is simple enough to recreate at home: Rub oven-dried lemon zest into fresh, coarsely ground black pepper to release the oils of each. Magic ensues as the lemon gains the fruity muskiness of the pepper, and the pepper is slicked with the fragrant balm of the lemon. The citric acid is optional, but provides lemon pepper's characteristic tartness. Sprinkled over roasted chicken wings, this golden dust gives off high-voltage flavors. To make this with store-bought lemon pepper, skip Steps 3 and 4 and simply toss the roasted wings with a dusting of the seasoning to taste.

Categories     snack, poultry, appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds chicken wings, whole or separated into wingettes and drumettes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 lemons
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 packed teaspoon dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon citric acid (optional; see Tip)

Steps:

  • Make the chicken wings: Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. On the sheet pan, pat the chicken wings dry, and toss with the olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
  • Roast until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy, turning once halfway through, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the lemon pepper: Finely grate about 2 teaspoons zest from the lemons onto another parchment paper-lined pan (a considerably smaller one works). Cut the lemons into wedges and set aside for serving. Add pepper to the zest, mix to combine and spread in an even layer. When the wings are done roasting, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and turn off the oven. Place the pan with the lemon zest and black pepper in the still-warm oven, letting the lemon zest dry out and the black pepper toast in the residual heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn or brown the zest; it may darken in shade slightly but should still be a vibrant yellow.
  • In a small bowl, use your fingers to mix together the toasted lemon zest and black pepper with the salt, brown sugar, garlic powder and citric acid (if using) until well combined. Be sure to break up any clumps of sugar. Sprinkle 4 teaspoons of the lemon pepper over the wings and toss until evenly coated. Taste for seasoning, adding more lemon pepper as desired. (You can store the rest of the spice blend in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.)
  • Transfer the seasoned wings to a large platter and garnish with the lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
