Instructions

1Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels—this is essential for crispiness.
2In a small bowl, combine the baking powder and lemon pepper seasoning. Toss the wings until evenly coated, then arrange them in a single layer in a large skillet, leaving space between each piece.
3Cook the wings over medium-high heat for 12–15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the undersides are golden brown and crispy.
4Flip the wings and cook for another 12–15 minutes over medium-high heat until the second side is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5While the wings cook, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until foaming, then add the lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon pepper seasoning, honey, and fresh parsley. Stir constantly for 2–3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and combined.
6Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl, pour the lemon pepper sauce over them, and toss until evenly coated.
7Divide the wings evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot, distributing sauce evenly among portions. Cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
8Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes until warmed through, or serve cold with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
