Lemonade, shallots or onions, and rosemary give zip to sauce on baked chicken wings. These wings are both sweet and savory.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

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 wings

Preparation:

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 do not 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
