Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints and tips removed

Seasoning and Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Honey Lemon Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare tray: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top for the wings to bake evenly and crisp up.
  2. Season the wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and garlic powder until each wing is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Bake the wings: Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  4. Prepare glaze and toss wings: Remove the wings from the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lemon juice until combined. Drizzle the honey-lemon mixture over the hot wings and toss to coat thoroughly.
  5. Garnish and serve: Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, ensure they are spaced well on the wire rack to allow air circulation.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning blend.
  • Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best vibrant flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce if desired, such as ranch or blue cheese dressing.
  • Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
