Kochutensilien
- Baking sheet (for baking wings)
- Small saucepan (for making glaze)
- Tongs or large spoon (for tossing wings in glaze)
Zutaten
- 2 lbs chicken wings fresh or thawed if frozen
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper or more for extra heat
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes for added spice
Anleitungen
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Bake the wings: Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the glaze thickens slightly.
- Toss the wings: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey lemon pepper glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve: Garnish with additional lemon zest or cracked black pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notizen
For extra crispy wings, broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
Adjust the spiciness by adding more black pepper or red pepper flakes.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for 10 minutes at 375°F for best results.
