  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1–2 teaspoons ground pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 450°F. Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel.
  2. Add potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the chicken wings; toss to coat.
  3. Lightly spray oil onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Transfer the wings to the sheet pan in a single layer and spray the tops with more oil.
  4. Decrease the oven temperature to 425°F and bake wings for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway and spraying with more oil.
  5. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-5 minutes. Set aside some sauce for dipping if desired.
  6. Once cooked, transfer wings to a bowl and toss with the honey lemon pepper sauce.

Notes

Pat wings dry for extra crispiness. Don’t skip the baking powder for crunch. Adjust pepper to taste and serve with lemon wedges for an extra kick.
