• ¼ cup unsalted butter (slightly melted)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 400° F.

Place pre-cut wings on a greased non-stick sheet tray. Bake for 18-20 minutes, turning half-way through the cooking time, or until crisp on the outside and reaching an internal temperature of 160° F.
