  • For the Marinade:

  • 1 1/4 tsp

    salt

  • 1/2 tsp

    paprika powder

  • 1/2 tsp

    ground black pepper

  • 1 tsp

    garlic powder

  • 3 tbsp

    olive oil

  • For the Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp

    butter

  • 2

    cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 tsp

    ground black pepper

  • 1/4 c

    chicken stock

  • 1/2 tsp

    all purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp

    salt to taste

  • A pinch of sugar

  • 1/2 tsp

    red chilli pepper flakes

  • Fresh thyme, as garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Boil wing tips with 1 cup of water for 30 minutes to make stock. Set aside.
  2. In a gallon-sized zippered plastic bag, add all marinade ingredients. Mix well, add chicken and make sure it's coated well. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake chicken for about 45 minutes or until done.
  4. For the sauce: Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Melt butter, and cook garlic until fragrant.
  5. Add 1/4 cup chicken stock and flour, and whisk until smooth.
  6. Turn off the heat, then add True Lemon, salt, pepper, sugar, and red chili pepper flakes.
  7. Add the cooked chicken wings to the sauce, mix well, and let rest for 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse. Stir occasionally.
  8. Reheat before serving, and garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
