24 chicken wings, cut apart at the joints, tips reserved for stock
3 tablespoons bourbon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
juice of 1 lemon
1 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Combine the wing joints, bourbon, olive oil, lemon rind, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss to coat the wings and marinate refrigerated for 4 hours or overnight. Mix the bread crumbs, paprika, salt, and pepper in a plastic bag. Drain the wing joints and toss with the bread crumb mixture. Place the wings on a baking sheet and place about 5 inches under a preheated broiler. Broil until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes on each side.
