Submitted by NewEnglandCook

"This is a really simple and delicious way to prepare chicken wings. This recipe is for roasting them in an outdoor wood fired oven at a high temperature. I am confidant that you can use your regular indoor oven as well."

directions

1. Light your oven or grill and get it to a very high temperature 500-600 Degrees.
2. Chop your Garlic and Rosemary into a very fine dice. Add to a bowl with the lemon zest, chili flakes, a heavy pinch of salt, 10 big grinds of black pepper, oil to moisten the whole ensemble.
3. Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings and add to the rosemary mixture. Toss and massage the chicken wings in the mix making sure to coat each and every bit of every wing with every ounce of rub. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour (longer is better).
4. Once your oven or grill is up to heat lay the wings across and baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and place in the oven
