Ingredients
  

For the 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
  • 1 spray oil spray for coating
For the Honey Lemon 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 pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel if they are moist.
  3. In a large bowl, add the potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the chicken wings. Toss to coat the wings evenly.
  4. Lightly spray some oil onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. Transfer the coated chicken wings to the sheet pan in a single layer. Spray the tops of the chicken with a little more oil.
Cooking
  1. Lower the oven temperature to 425°F (218°C) and bake the chicken wings for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through and spraying a bit more oil on top.
  2. While the wings bake, combine the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir and simmer the sauce for 3 to 5 minutes until everything is nicely blended. Save a small portion of the sauce for dipping.
  3. Once the wings are done, transfer them to a bowl and toss them to coat thoroughly with the honey lemon pepper sauce.

Notes

For an extra zing, add a dash of chili powder to the sauce. Customize the sauce by adding your favorite herbs or spices. Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for a classic touch.
