Ingredients
- For the Chicken Wings:
- 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
- For the Honey Lemon Pepper Sauce:
- ½ cup honey
- 1 lemon, zested
- ¼ cup lemon juice (or more, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1–2 teaspoons ground pepper
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
- In a bowl, combine potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture until well-coated.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with oil. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the sheet pan, and spray the tops of the wings with more oil.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake the wings for 35–40 minutes, flipping them halfway through and spraying with more oil as needed, until golden and crispy.
- While the wings are baking, make the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined. Set aside a small portion of the sauce for dipping.
- Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a bowl and toss them in the honey lemon pepper sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve hot, with the reserved sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, increase the cooking time by 5-10 minutes, making sure to flip them halfway through.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice to suit your taste preference—more for a tangier flavor.
- If you prefer spicier wings, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
