Steps

1If using the air fryer, preheat to 400°F. Prepare the air fryer basket or trays with aluminum foil or non-stick spray if needed. If using your oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat to 425°F. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
2In a large bowl, toss the chicken wing sections with oil, lemon pepper seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Make sure all sides are evenly coated.
3Spread the wings on air fryer trays or a parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping them in as close to a single layer as you can. Bake or air fry until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through. Air fryer: 25–30 minutes. Oven: 45–60 minutes. Make sure the wings reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
4While the wings cook, make the garlic honey butter glaze. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and stir constantly for 5–7 minutes to gently infuse the butter with garlic flavor without burning it. The garlic will mellow out completely, giving you a sweet, rich flavor all through the sauce.
5Add the honey, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and simmer gently for a couple of minutes. Don't let the mixture boil.
6Remove from heat. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference.
7Toss the crispy wings in the garlic honey butter glaze until every wing is coated. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce for drizzling, and an extra drizzle of honey over top if desired. Serve with our Wingstop ranch for the ultimate dipping sauce! Enjoy!
