Ingredients
For the Chicken Wings:
- 2 lbs chicken wings (tip: separate the flats and drumettes for easier eating)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
- Vegetable oil for frying (or you can bake the wings)
For the Honey Lemon Sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about one lemon)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (optional for a slight tang)
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for added citrus flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Wings
- Dry the Wings: Start by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is key to achieving crispy wings. Excess moisture will make the wings soggy during frying.
- Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure the wings are evenly coated in the seasonings.
- Coat the Wings: In a separate shallow dish, mix the flour and cornstarch. Dredge each chicken wing in the flour-cornstarch mixture, ensuring that the wings are coated evenly. The cornstarch is what will give the wings that irresistible crispy exterior.
