Description
A delicious recipe for Honey Lemon Pepper Wings that are crispy and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for crispier wings.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until the mixture is well combined and heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey lemon sauce over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious honey lemon pepper wings!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
- Try adding different spices to the seasoning mix, such as smoked paprika or cayenne pepper, for a unique flavor twist.
