Chicken wings baked with lemons in syrup are a simple oven dish with a sweet-and-sour citrus flavor. First, simmer the lemons for 20 minutes in a syrup made from water and sugar. Season the wings with salt, pepper, and paprika, then arrange them on a baking sheet. Pour the syrup and lemons over them and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 35 to 40 minutes. The hands-on work takes just five minutes; the rest is waiting for the lemons to simmer and the wings to bake.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Dissolve the sugar in the water and bring to a boil to make a syrup. Add the lemons and simmer for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
Season the wings with salt and pepper and rub them with the paprika. Arrange them on a baking sheet and pour the syrup and lemons over them.
Bake the wings for 35–40 minutes.

Tip: Since the lemons are cooked with their peel on, wash them thoroughly beforehand, slice them, and remove the seeds, which could make the syrup bitter. Halfway through baking, baste the wings with the syrup from the baking sheet.
