Ingredients

  • 2 pound chicken wings
  • 3 tablespoon 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
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (or more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1-2 teaspoons ground pepper
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  • In a large bowl, combine potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture until evenly coated.
  • Place the coated wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they’re not touching.
  • Lightly spray the wings with oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
  • Bake the wings at 450°F for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • While the wings are baking, prepare the Honey Lemon Pepper Sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Once the wings are cooked through and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl.
  • Pour the Honey Lemon Pepper Sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
  • Serve hot and enjoy the deliciousness!
