YUMMMM!!!
I am not a chicken wing fan, not a big buffalo sauce girl, usually don’t like the idea of pulling meat off of a bone with my teeth. (hehe) But these little suckers, mmmm, they are FANTASTIC! It’s my mama’s recipe and when she was down last week for Samster’s birthday she was kind enough to teach me how to make them. I thought I would continue the chicken wing pay it forward by sharing it with you fine people.
In a large bowl combine 3 lbs buffalo style chicken wings, 1/4 cu minced garlic, the juice of 1 lemon (this little gadget gets every drop), give all the wings a good drizzle of hot sauce & season with s & p. A word on the hot sauce- if you’re not that into heat can I make a recommendation? I have been using Goya’s hot sauce for years and it’s AWESOME. It has a bit of a kick but not a physically pain inducing type like Tabasco. More tangy than anything, it’s great in this recipe, don’t be afraid to poor it on!
Let marinate anywhere from 1hr-overnight depending on how well you plan ahead. Turn your broiler on and place wings on a broiler tray like the one below. (Tip- I covered the rimmed baking sheet below the tray with foil for an easier cleanup)
Let wings cook until one side starts to brown well (burning at the tips) and then flip. Continue turning them until all sides look toasty and chicken is cooked through. (7-9 min total) You want to keep an eye on these too, don’t leave them and walk away, you will regret it and your house will smell like burnt chicken grease for a week. Not that I did that. I’m just saying it might happen.
Serve with your favorite summer side dishes and enjoy!
WOW (impressed look). Your Lemon Chicken looks so yummy.
Here I bought a sauce pack for Lemon Chicken so as to skip all the seasonings! and i will try this friday after work.

Very nice but, I will give you a tip: remove the wings from the refrigerator and place on pre-heated grill with tongs, this is the easier part. Allow 7 to 9 minutes per side depending on size. Turn gently, insuring that the skin stays intact. Remove it all and then eat it!
I made these last night for dinner!! OMG soo soo sooo good! My husband and I literally stood over the stove top for 15 minutes and just ate every single one. lol Then we ate our sides. Thanks for sharing your moms yummy wing recipe!!!
Mmm, aren’t they amazing? Those crispy little lemony garlic bits are the BEST. So glad you liked it!
yes i soooo pulled all the little pieces that were stuck to the rack off and ate them! 😉
After years of saying “I’m gonna try these one day” that day finally came and O..M..G
These where amazing! And I didn’t even have time to marinate them! I just popped them in the oven, and basted them once with extra sauce (to kinda make up for not marinating them) and they where so good, Hubbs had all the right reactions 😀 He Loooooved them that he asked me to make a second batch the same night so he can take them to work the next day.
Ah-mazing.
Thanks Natasha!
YAY!!! Mmmm, those really are one of my all time favorites, might have to make some tonight now that they’re on my mind!
Natasha,
Know this is an old post, so hoping you’ll respond. I’m new to your blog. love your stuff. Unfortunately (well, not literally) my kiddos are 18 and 14 respectively so all the cool things you have here for the young ones are I’ll have to file away until when my girls have their own babies. Question about your wings…how high do I set the broiler…mine goes up to 400, I believe?!
