Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the wings.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, removing any moisture to maximize their crispiness.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine potato starch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well blended. Toss the dried wings with this mixture.
  4. Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet by lightly spraying it with oil to prevent sticking. Lay the coated wings in a single layer.
  5. Lower the oven temperature to 425°F (218°C) and place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  7. Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the honey lemon sauce over them, tossing gently to ensure they are fully glazed.
