Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 Springer Mountain Farms chicken wings cut in half
- 1 ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon OliveNation sweet smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
For the Honey Sauce
- ½ cup honey plus 2 tbsp
- ⅓ cup lemon juice
- 1 tbsp garlic herb seasoning
- 1 tsp pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon water
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 420 degrees. Then, line a baking pan with foil and place a baking rack on top.
- Wash the chicken wings and pat them dry.
- Cut the wings at the joint with a sharp knife or kitchen shears.
- In a large bowl, combine the wings, baking powder, paprika, salt, pepper, lemon pepper, thyme, and onion powder and stir to coat the wings evenly.
- Place the wings on the baking rack, leaving space between each wing to ensure they get crispy on all sides. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes until their internal temperature is 165 degrees. Make the sauce while the wings cook.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, lemon juice, garlic herb seasoning, pepper, and salt. Stir. Mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, and add it to the honey mixture.
- Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Dip 2 wings at a time into the honey sauce in the saucepan and transfer them to the wire rack. Repeat until all the wings are coated.
- Let the wings rest for 5 minutes so the glaze can set.
- Garnish the wings with fresh parsley and serve. You can also brush any remaining sauce on the wings just before serving.
Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Microwave individual portions at 1-minute intervals until heated through.
- Rinse the wings in a colander with a gentle stream of water to avoid as much splashing as possible.
- Wash the counters and sink immediately after rinsing the wings.
- Be sure your wings are as dry as possible to ensure nice, crispy wings.
