Honey Lemon Pepper Wings

Delicious sweet and tangy chicken wings perfect for game day or family dinners.

  • 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
  • 12 teaspoons ground pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 450°F. If the chicken wings are moist, pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a bowl, add the potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the chicken wings. Toss well to coat them.
  3. Lightly spray some oil onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Place the chicken wings on the pan in a single layer, and spray the tops with more oil.
  4. Lower the oven temperature to 425°F and bake the wings for 35 to 40 minutes. Flip them halfway through and spray a bit more oil on top.
  5. While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until well mixed. Set aside a small portion for dipping if you like.
  6. Once the wings are finished, transfer them to a bowl and toss them with the honey lemon pepper sauce to coat.

Notes

For extra flavor, serve garnished with lemon slices or fresh herbs. Pair with ranch or blue cheese for dipping.
