Honey Lemon Pepper Wings

Delicious and crispy chicken wings coated in a sweet and tangy honey lemon pepper sauce, perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 3 tablespoons potato starch
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • Oil spray
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 lemon zested
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (or more)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 12 teaspoons ground pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 450°F. Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel if they are moist.
  2. Add the potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the chicken wings. Toss to coat the chicken wings.
  3. Lightly spray some oil onto a parchment-lined sheet pan, then transfer the chicken wings to the sheet pan in a single layer. Spray the tops of the chicken with more oil.
  4. Decrease the oven temperature to 425°F and bake the chicken wings for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway and spraying more oil on top.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until well combined. Set aside a small portion to dip the wings in, if desired.
  6. Once the wings are done, transfer them to a bowl and toss them with the honey lemon pepper sauce.

Notes

Patting the wings dry is crucial for achieving a crispy texture. Adjust the lemon juice and honey to your taste preference.
