Sticky chicken wings

I came across this treatment reading Nigel Slater's book The Kitchen Diaries.

Cracked pepper, lemon juice and sliced lemon, fresh bay leaves, olive oil and sea salt season the wings before a good roasting session that makes them sticky and luscious.
The fresh bay leaves became like chips, and the lemon peel, caramelized and chewy. The sticky bits on the pan became dessert. Oh, and the wings were good too! Eat with your fingers and have extra napkins around, cause it's gonna be messy.
