    Check out how to make honey lemon pepper wings with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon pepper, honey, and black pepper with a whisk until well mixed.

    Toss in the chicken wings and mix to coat well.

    Lay the coated chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet in a nice and even layer (or as best as you can).

    Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until the internal temperature is at least 160 degrees F and the skin looks crisp.

    Serve warm.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    What I truly love most about this honey lemon pepper chicken wings recipe is that it's just tossing everything together in a bowl and tossing it in the oven. No complicated steps, no flour, no patting the chicken dry or brining it for several hours... just simple steps and simple ingredients.

    That said if you truly wanted to enjoy a brined chicken wing recipe, my beer brined wings are really good too. I'd say that these lemon pepper wings and the beer brine are our top 2 favorites around here.

    If you do want the skin a little crisper, just turn on the broil after they've cooked and let them sit there for about 1 minute or 2. Keep a close eye though because burnt isn't always a good flavor.

    💭 FAQs

    How long are honey lemon pepper wings good for?

    You can store your leftover chicken wings in the fridge in an airtight container for about 3-5 days. Just reheat and eat when you're ready.
