Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Fresh lemon zest, for garnish (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place an oven-safe rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.
- Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, 1 tbsp of the lemon pepper seasoning, and garlic powder until well-coated.
- Bake the Wings: Place the wings on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Prepare the Honey Lemon Pepper Sauce: While the wings are baking, combine the honey, melted butter, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 tbsp of lemon pepper seasoning in a small bowl. Whisk until well-mixed.
- Toss in Sauce: Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey lemon pepper sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh lemon zest and parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For Extra Crispiness: Pat the wings dry with paper towels before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the honey sauce for a hint of heat.
- Air Fryer Option: Cook wings at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway through, for a quicker, crispier option.
