Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place the wings in a mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly.
  2. Season the Wings: Mix salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the wings and toss to coat.
  3. Bake the Wings: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack and bake for 20 minutes. Flip wings and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until crispy.
  4. Make the Glaze: In a saucepan, combine honey, unsalted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Heat on medium until bubbling, add lemon pepper seasoning and cracked black pepper, simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Coat the Wings: Transfer baked wings to a bowl, pour the warm glaze over, and toss to coat.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Serve immediately after glazing. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley and cracked black pepper.
