Baked Honey Lemon Glazed Wings

I served these delicious wings last night at supper and everyone loved them. They are really simple to make and are baked and not fried, although you could easily deep fry them instead if you prefer. These are dredged in a seasoned flour before baking which really helps the glaze to stick to the wings; a real finger lickin' recipe for sure.

3 lbs chicken wings, cleaned and cut in two pieces with the tips removed

salt and pepper to season

Season the wings with salt and pepper.

Sift together:

1 cup flour

2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

3 tsp powdered ginger

2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

1 tsp salt

Dredge the cleaned and trimmed wings in the seasoned flour. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (for easier clean up later) and place a wire rack/s over the sheet. Bake the wings on this rack at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes, turning them over half way through the cooking time.

Honey Lemon Glaze

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add

1 small finely chopped shallot

1 tbsp olive oil

Saute for a minute to soften the shallot, then add

1/2 cup honey

finely chopped zest of one lemon

juice of one lemon

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Simmer together for about 5-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken wings into a large bowl and pour the hot glaze over the wings. Toss well to cover all of the wings in glaze. Garnish with grated lemon zest and chives if desired.
