Method
 

  1. **Prep the Wings:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the wings with olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
    2 lbs chicken wings, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  2. **Bake the Wings:** Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and the skin is crispy.
  3. **Make the Glaze:** While the wings are baking, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a small saucepan.
    1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  4. **Simmer the Glaze:** Heat the glaze over medium-low heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  5. **Glaze the Wings:** Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a clean bowl. Pour the lemon pepper honey glaze over the wings and toss to coat thoroughly.
  6. **Serve Immediately:** Arrange the Lemon Pepper Wings Honey on a serving platter and enjoy! Garnish with extra lemon zest and a sprinkle of lemon pepper seasoning, if desired. They're perfect on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
