Lemon chicken wings are a delightful blend of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors, perfect as a snack or party appetizer. Here’s an easy, step-by-step guide to making them at home.

Ingredients:

- 1 lb chicken wings, split at the joint

- 2 lemons (1 juiced, 1 sliced for garnish)

- 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup

- 2 tbsp soy sauce

- 1/2 tsp black pepper

- Cooking oil

- Sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

1. Prepare the Wings: Rinse the wings and pat them dry. Season with garlic powder and black pepper.

2. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, mix lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, and a splash of water until smooth.
