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
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1-2 teaspoons ground pepper
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 450°F. Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel if they are moist.
- Add the potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the chicken wings. Toss to coat the chicken wings.
- Lightly spray some oil onto the parchment-lined sheet pan, then transfer the chicken wings to the sheet pan in a single layer. Spray the tops of the chicken with some more oil.
- Decrease the oven temperature to 425°F and bake the chicken wings for 35 to 40 minutes (depending on their size), flipping them at the halfway mark and spraying a bit more oil on the tops.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan on the stovetop, over medium heat, add the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer the sauce for 3 to 5 minutes until everything is well combined. Set aside a small portion to dip the wings in, if desired.
- Once the wings are done, transfer them to a bowl and toss them to coat with the honey lemon pepper sauce.
