Ingredients
🍗 1 lb chicken rings
🍋 2 tablespoons lemon zest
🌶 2 teaspoons black pepper
🌶 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
🧂 1 teaspoon salt
🍯 1 tablespoon honey
🌿 1 tablespoon olive oil
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧈 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
🍋 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
1- Prep the Chicken Rings:
- Rinse and pat dry the chicken rings with paper towels. Set aside.
2- Create the Marinade:
- In a large bowl, combine lemon zest, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, honey, olive oil, and garlic powder. Mix well.
3- Marinate the Rings:
- Add the chicken rings to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to infuse.
4- Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5- Bake the Rings:
- Arrange the marinated wings on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
6- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in lemon juice and cook for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
7- Add the Finishing Touches:
- Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm butter-lemon sauce over the wings and toss until they are well coated.
8- Serve:
- Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a Caesar salad for a refreshing contrast.
