Description

Delightful fusion of sweet and savory flavors in crispy chicken wings, perfect for gatherings or a family dinner.


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 (or more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 12 teaspoons ground pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss the wings until coated.
  3. Lightly spray oil onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange wings in a single layer and spray tops with oil.
  4. Reduce oven to 425°F and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway and spraying again.
  5. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Once wings are finished, toss them gently in the honey lemon pepper sauce until well coated.

Notes

For a spicier version, add chili flakes or hot sauce to the sauce. Ensure to properly pat wings dry for the best crispiness.
