Instructions
Oven Method
- First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed pan with parchment paper or tin foil.

- Arrange wings in one even layer on lined pan.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Once the wings have about 10 minutes left, make glaze. Add all glaze ingredients to a skillet over low heat.
- Bring mixture to medium heat or until lightly bubbling. Once bubbling, reduce heat to very low. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Once wings are done, add wings to a large bowl. Drizzle with sauce and toss to combine. Finally, serve!
Air Fryer Method
- First, preheat air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray air fryer basket or pan with nonstick spray.

Notes
- If using frozen chicken wings, either thaw before making this recipe. Or, add 10 to 15 minutes to oven time or 5 minutes to air fry time.
- Carefully watch glaze while cooking. Since it contains honey, it can easily burn. Stir often to prevent burning.
- Lemon pepper seasoning adds a great flavor, but it can be tough to find in stores. This recipe is great with or without it.
- Chicken wings are done when they reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer for best results.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
