It's based on a recipe from Susan Hermann Loomis's Farmhouse cooking. We often polish off 2 dozen of these and call it dinner. You can eat the wingtips, bones and all. —chava

  • 24 chicken wings with tips
  • 3/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions
  1. Pick out any feathers from wings.

You marinate the chicken at room temperature all day? Is that safe?

Hey, Tony. I do all my marinating at room temperature, and haven't worried as long as there is acid in the marinade..And these are cooked really thoroughly. But I'm no expert...I think you'd have to marinate them longer if they were in the fridge.

Lemon!...love it. I have a great lemon glazed turkey meatball recipe (out here) that would like to sit next to your wings on the appetizer table!
