Description

These Honey Lemon Pepper Wings are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in a sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy sauce. Perfect for game day, or as a delicious dinner option, these wings are sure to impress!


Ingredients

For the Chicken Wings:

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 (for cooking)

For the Honey Lemon Pepper Sauce:

½ cup honey

1 lemon (zested)

¼ cup lemon juice (or more to taste)

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon butter

12 teaspoons ground pepper

1 pinch salt


Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Heat the oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.

Prepare the Wings:
In a large bowl, mix together the potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken wings in this mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil. Arrange the coated chicken wings in a single layer on the sheet pan. Spray the tops of the wings with a little more oil.

Bake the Wings:
Reduce the oven temperature to 425°F. Bake the wings for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. After flipping, spray a little more oil on the wings to ensure they stay crispy.

Prepare the Sauce:
While the wings are baking, make the honey lemon pepper sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened. Set aside a small portion of the sauce to serve as a dipping sauce, if desired.

Toss the Wings:
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a bowl. Toss the wings in the prepared honey lemon pepper sauce, coating them thoroughly.

Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your crispy, sticky wings hot and enjoy them with the leftover sauce for dipping!

Notes

Adjust the Sauce: Feel free to add more lemon juice to the sauce for extra tanginess, or more honey if you prefer a sweeter flavor.

Crispy Wings: For extra crispy wings, make sure to dry them thoroughly before seasoning and ensure they’re spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
