Ingredients

Scale

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, as needed

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 black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels to ensure they crisp up properly during baking.
  2. Coat the Wings: In a large bowl, combine the potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss the wings in this mixture until they are evenly coated.
  3. Arrange for Baking: Lightly spray a parchment-lined baking sheet with oil. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the sheet, then spray the tops lightly with oil to encourage crispiness.
  4. Bake the Wings: Reduce the oven temperature to 425°F (218°C). Bake the wings for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through and spraying more oil on top after flipping, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Make the Sauce: While the wings bake, combine honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and ground pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until well combined and fragrant. Reserve a small portion for dipping if desired.
  6. Toss Wings in Sauce: Once the wings are finished baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm honey lemon pepper sauce over the wings and toss until they are thoroughly coated.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately with the reserved dipping sauce on the side for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Patting the wings dry before coating is essential for crispiness.
  • Baking powder helps achieve a crunchy texture without frying.
  • You can adjust the amount of black pepper to your preferred level of spiciness.
  • Reserve some sauce for dipping to add extra flavor with each bite.
  • These wings are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
