These lemon pepper chicken wings don't just have a dry rub - they're also coated in a sweet, spicy, citrusy glaze that takes this sticky snack to a new level.

Ingredients

Zest and juice of 2 medium lemons, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon onion powder

¾ cup hot honey

Combine the lemon zest, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, peppercorns, and citric acid in a small mixing bowl.

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the wings and toss them until they are until evenly coated.
