Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Zest of 1 lemon

1/4 cup honey

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Ensure all the wings are well coated.

      Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.

        Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the wings are crispy and golden brown, flipping them halfway through for even crispiness.

          While the wings are baking, prepare the honey lemon glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and heated through, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

            Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and immediately toss them in the honey lemon glaze until well coated.

              Transfer the wings to a serving platter, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
