Instructions
1. Prep the Wings:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until evenly coated.
2. Bake the Wings:
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
3. Make the Honey Lemon Glaze:
While the wings are baking, combine the honey, lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, and lemon zest (if using) in a small saucepan.
Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Toss and Serve:
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
Pour the honey lemon glaze over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, lemon slices, or a sprinkle of extra black pepper if desired.
Tips for Success
Extra Crispy Wings: Pat the wings dry with a paper towel before seasoning to ensure crispiness.
Air Fryer Option: Cook the wings in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the glaze for a touch of heat.
