Before you know it, you'll be marinating your chicken wings in all kind of booze.

I am a firm believer that alcohol belongs in food as much as it does in a bottle, so I paired gin, with its nice woodsy undertones, with the sweetness of brown sugar for a Gin and Lemon Chicken Wings recipe so easy that you can prepare it during commercials.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

4 pounds chicken wings, at room temperature

zest and juice of 1 lemon

1/4 cup Gin

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 425ºF
Whisk all the ingredients together, except the wings.
Toss the wings in the mixture, making sure they are completely coated.
Line a baking sheet with foil and place the wings on the foil in a single layer.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until cooked through.
