Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pounds Chicken wings Using fresh wings will give the best texture and flavor; ensure they are thawed if frozen.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil A high-quality extra virgin olive oil adds a rich flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon pepper seasoning This is the secret to achieving a zesty flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Honey Offers a delightful sweetness that balances the tanginess from the lemon and the spice.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley For garnish, adds a touch of color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt until they are well-coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for even cooking.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning the wings halfway through to ensure they become crispy and golden brown.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the honey and lemon juice until smooth.
  3. Remove the wings from the oven and immediately drizzle with the honey mixture. Toss to coat well.
  4. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan for crispy wings. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the wings are cooked through without being dry. Let the wings rest for a few minutes to let the juices redistribute.
