Cowboy Butter Wings

Cowboy butter wings are buffalo wing's herby, flavor-packed cousin. They’re rich, garlicky, herb-forward, a little spicy, a little tangy—and completely delicious.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Chicken Wings
  • 1 stick Salted Butter melted
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 6 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400F
  • Line an extra large baking sheet with aluminum foil and then add a wire rack on top of the aluminum foil
  • Add the 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper to the wings and arrange the wings in a single layer on a wire rack, skin side down, making sure they do not touch.
  • Bake at 400F for 40 minutes on the top rack. Remove from the oven, increase the temperature to 425F, flip over the wings so that the skin is on the top. Put them back in the oven for another 13-15 minutes.
  • While the wings are baking, make your cowboy butter by combining the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Let it sit while the wings are baking and once the wings are done baking, pour the butter over them. If your butter has solidified, you can put it in the microwave for about 5 to 10 seconds so that it gets liquidy again.
