Wings flavored with honey and lemon pepper can be grilled or baked so they're perfect for any occasion. Just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes to have this fun appetizer ready to eat.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds chicken wings washed and patted dry
- ⅓ cup butter melted
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 teaspoons lemon peel dried
- 2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Instructions
- Mix all of the dry ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Melt the butter in microwave or on stove top on low heat.
- Whisk the honey into the melted butter.
- Dip each wing in the honey butter mixture and then place them all in a single layer, not touching on a rack and pan for oven or on a platter to transfer to grill.
- Cook over medium high heat on the grill or in a 425 degree oven for about 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with half of the seasoning mixture and turn the wings.
- Sprinkle with the other half and continue cooking 10-15 minutes or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
Notes
