Ingredients:
- 1 pound chicken wings (drumettes and flats separated)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Lemon slices, for garnish
- Chili flakes, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the marinade:
In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. - Marinate the wings:
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them well to coat evenly. Let them marinate for at least 15โ30 minutes (or up to 2 hours if you have time) for deeper flavor. - Arrange the wings:
Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between each wing. - Bake the wings:
Bake in the preheated oven for 35โ40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the wings are golden brown, sticky, and cooked through. - Garnish and serve:
Once out of the oven, drizzle any extra sauce over the wings. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and a sprinkle of chili flakes if you like a little heat.
Tips for Perfect Honey Lemon Chicken Wings:
For extra crispy wings:
After baking, broil the wings on high for 2โ3 minutes, but keep a close eye on them so they donโt burn.
Adjust the sweetness:
If you prefer a tangier taste, add a little more lemon juice. For a sweeter glaze, increase the honey slightly.
Make ahead:
You can marinate the wings overnight for an even richer flavor. Just cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
Serving idea:
Serve these wings with a simple side salad or over steamed rice to turn them into a full meal.
Conclusion:
These Honey Lemon Chicken Wings are juicy, sticky, and full of bright flavors that everyone will love.
Whether you’re making them for a party or just a cozy night in, theyโre sure to disappear fast โ so make plenty!
