Description

Deliciously crispy chicken wings coated in a sweet and tangy honey lemon sauce, perfect for gatherings and weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 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. Preheat your oven to 450°F. If your chicken wings are wet, pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a large bowl, combine potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add the chicken wings and toss until well coated in the dry ingredients.
  3. Lightly spray oil onto the parchment-lined sheet pan. Lay the chicken wings in a single layer and spritz the tops with oil.
  4. Reduce the oven temperature to 425°F and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Halfway through, flip the wings and spray them with oil again for even crispiness.
  5. While wings bake, prepare the honey lemon sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until well combined. Reserve part of this sauce for dipping if desired.
  6. When the wings are ready, transfer them to a bowl. Toss with the honey lemon pepper sauce until generously coated.

Notes

For extra crispy wings, let the coated wings rest in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes before baking.
