Honey Lemon Sauce

- ½ cup honey

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 250°F. Take chicken wings out and pat dry. In a small bowl, mix together the baking powder, lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and black pepper. Place wings in large bowl and add dry rub mixture, then toss to coat evenly.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil, then place a cooling rack on the foil. Spray the rack with oil spray. Place wings on rack in a single layer with skin side up.
3. Bake for 30 minutes at 250°F. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F and bake for an additional 50 minutes to 1 hour, rotating the tray halfway through. Remove from tray and let stand for 5 minutes.
4. While wings are baking, heat large sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. Add honey, butter, lemon juice, lemon zest and garlic powder. Reduce heat to low and cook until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and toss chicken wings until coated.
5. Place wings back in the oven and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until caramelized.
