Soy Sauce and Lemon Juice Chicken Wings

Ingredients
30-40 fresh chicken wing sections, washed
Soy sauce
Lemon juice

Method
Place the chicken wings into a roasting pan in a single layer. Pour the soy sauce and lemon juice over the wings in the ratio of 2 parts soy sauce to 1 part soy sauce. The liquid should fully cover the bottom of the whole pan and come up to about 1/4 - 1/3 of the way up the wings. Remember that water is going to come out of the chicken and add to the liquid.

Put the wings a couple of inches under the broiler and broil the wings on high heat. Using a pair of tongs, flip the wings every 20 minutes until the wings have a nice dark color and the skin is just crispy, about 1 hour in total. The secret is to never, ever rush; let the chicken wings cook as long as they need to and flip as often as needed.


Shelly's Note: If you're using frozen chicken wings, wash the ice off them first and be aware that a lot more water is going to come out of frozen wings during cooking, so lessen the amount of soy sauce and lemon juice you pour. This recipe is extremely simple, particularly for the amount of taste is has. This is a perfect meal to bring to parties as well as cook at home when you don't want to fuss over dinner too much.
