  • - 2 tbsp olive oil
  • - 2 tsp baking powder
  • - 1 tsp garlic powder
  • - 1 tsp onion powder

  • - 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • - 1 tsp lemon zest
  • - 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • - 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • **1. Prepare the Wings:**
  • - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.

  • - Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
  • **3. Make the Glaze:**
  • - In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened.
  • **4. Toss and Serve:**
  • - Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the honey lemon pepper glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
  • - Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon zest or parsley if desired.
