3 lbs. sm. chicken wings (approx. 15)
1/2 c. sugar
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. pepper
3/4 c. water
1/3 c. lemon juice

Cut off tips and discard. Divide each wing in half by cutting through joint with a sharp knife. Place in a single layer on rack in broiler pan. Bake in oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, turning once. Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, ginger, and pepper in a small saucepan; stir in water, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils 3 minutes. Brush part of mixture over chicken wings. Continue baking chicken wings for an additional 40 minutes, turning and brushing several times with remaining mixture until richly glazed. When ready to serve, place in a chafing dish, or keep hot server. Frame with a ring of thin lemon slices if desired.
