Lemonade Chicken Wings

Ingredients

For the Wings:

• 2 lbs party-style chicken wings (drums and flats)
• 2 tbsp Uncle Dibbz Atlanta Lemon Pepper Mild
• 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Lemonade Glaze:

• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: 1–2 tbsp sparkling lemonade or lemon-lime soda

Instructions

1. Season the Wings: Pat wings dry with paper towels. Toss in olive oil and coat evenly with Uncle Dibbz Atlanta Lemon Pepper Mild . Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight if prepping ahead.
2. Cook the Wings:
   • Oven: Preheat to 425°F. Bake on a wire rack over a foil-lined sheet for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway.
   • Air Fryer: 380°F for 25–30 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through.
   Wings should be golden, slightly crisp, and cooked through.
3. Make the Lemonade Glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, chopped mint, and a pinch of salt. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes. Optional: Add a splash of sparkling lemonade to brighten and thin the glaze.
4. Toss the Wings: Place hot wings in a large mixing bowl. Pour warm glaze over the wings and toss until fully coated.
5. Plate and Serve: Garnish with extra lemon zest and chopped mint if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
