Honey Lemon Pepper Wings Recipe

n a large bowl, combine 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp paprika, and 1 tbsp baking powder (optional but recommended for extra crispiness). Mix well to evenly distribute the spices. Add the wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure each piece is well coated with the seasoning.

Choose Your Cooking Method: Bake, Fry, or Air Fry

Baking Instructions:

Coat in Oil: Drizzle 2 tbsp of vegetable oil over the wings and toss to coat them lightly. This helps them brown and crisp in the oven.
Arrange on Rack: Place the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Avoid overcrowding, as this can prevent even cooking.
Bake Time: Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides become golden and crispy. Check for doneness by making sure the skin is crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Frying Instructions:

Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure you have enough oil to fully submerge the wings for even cooking.
Fry the Wings: Carefully add the wings in batches, so you don’t overcrowd the pot. Fry each batch for 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Drain on Paper Towels: Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
