Old Bay Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 3 pounds chicken wings, separated tips from drummettes
• 8 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 Tbsp Old Bay seasoning, plus more for dusting
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• Cocktail sauce for dipping

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Set the wings out until they reach room temperature so the sauce coats them more easily, then blot them well dry.
2. For the Old Bay sauce, warm the butter in a small pot until melted, then use a whisk to blend in the Old Bay with the lemon juice. Cool it until it feels lukewarm.
3. Stir the sauce once more, then coat the chicken wings with half of it.
4. Spread the wings in a single layer on a parchment paper-, aluminum foil-, or Silpat-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees F for 25 minutes.
5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, then switch the oven to broil. Position an oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler. Flip the wings on the baking sheet, slide them beneath the broiler, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they have a good browned finish.
6. To serve, coat the wings with the sauce you held back and transfer them to a plate. Finish with an extra dusting of Old Bay, and bring out your favorite cocktail sauce.
