Honey Dipped Wings
by Donna W.
4 dozen chicken wings
2 cups flour
1/2 cup bread crumbs
4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup paprika
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup lemon juice
1-1/2 cup margarine
Coat the chicken in the flour mixture (all the dry ingredients mixed together - I put the coating mix in a ziploc bag, and put 8 or 10 wings in and shake). Melt 1 cup margarine in a baking dish (I use a 9x13 glass baking dish, and divide the margarine into the dishes). Arrange the chicken in the baking dish, turn to coat with melted butter. Bake 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
Turn the chicken. Mix remaining 1/2 cup melted margarine with honey and lemon juice and pour over chicken. Bake 30 minutes longer or until tender. Baste frequently with honey sauce.
