Lemon Herb Chicken Wings
I’ll admit that I generally find chicken wings somewhat unappealing but well, “Landyn made me do it!”
As I mentioned in my post for Pumpkin Layer Brownies, Landyn is a lifestyle blogger/Instagram influencer (livingwithlandyn.com) to whom I am devoted. There is something about Landyn that makes you believe that the sunglasses she’s wearing are the best, the paint color on her walls is perfect and the food she puts on her table is delicious.
Which leads me to the reason I decided to serve Lemon Herb Chicken Wings when we recently had family come to town for a visit. If Landyn loves them…well, you get the point.
The good news is that everyone else loved them as well, and they were easy to make. The wings marinate in a mixture of lemon, garlic, parsley and rosemary for 24 hours in the fridge before being baked in the oven. I finished up with a flash under the broiler for a bit of color and voila! dinner is served.
If your family enjoys ordering chicken wings at a restaurant, I encourage you to give this healthy riff a try. And as with most chicken recipes, I imagine that this simple marinade would work with other cuts of chicken but I think it was the fact that they were wings that got my kids excited. Enjoy!
