Ingredients
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
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
- 1 –2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Chicken Wings
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel—removing moisture helps them crisp up in the oven.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
Step 2: Bake for Crispy Perfection
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with oil. Arrange the wings in a single layer and spray the tops with a bit more oil.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 425°F and bake the wings for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Spray the flipped wings again for an extra-crispy finish.
Step 3: Make the Honey Lemon Pepper Sauce
- While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes, stirring until the butter melts and the sauce is smooth. Set aside a small portion of the sauce for dipping, if desired.
Step 4: Toss and Serve
- Once the wings are golden and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve hot with extra sauce on the side and napkins nearby—these wings are sticky, zesty, and totally addictive!
