Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings become crispy as they bake.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sea salt, and smoked paprika until well combined.

      Coat the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade, making sure each wing is thoroughly coated. For best results, allow the wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

        Arrange the Wings: Once marinated, arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. This helps air circulate around the wings for even cooking.

          Bake the Wings: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Flip the wings halfway through cooking for even crispiness.

            Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. You can drizzle some extra honey or a squeeze of lemon on top for added flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve your Honey Lemon Pepper Wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or blue cheese, and enjoy these delicious, sweet, and zesty bites!
