Honey Lemon Chicken

Honey Lemon Chicken
Ingredients

1 cup flour
2 Tablespoon cornstarch
½ Tablespoon salt
½ Tablespoon pepper
½ Tablespoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon paprika powder (optional)
500-700 grams chicken wings, cut at the joints
1 Tablespoon butter (or oil)
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup honey
3-4 Tablespoon lemon Juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in ¼ cup water
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings with paper towel. Set aside for now. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil (for easier cleaning) and place a grease baking or cooking rack on top. No baking rack? No problem, just place chicken on top of grease aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic and paprika powder. Roll each piece of chicken in the breading mix until well and evenly coated then arranged them on the cooking rack.
Bake chicken at 180°C/375°F for 10-13 minutes and broil for another 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by melting butter in a saucepan under medíum heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until slighthly browned. Add the honey and lemon juice and let it simmer. Once it starts to boil add the cornstarch with water and mix. Continue to simmer until sauce thickens about 2-3 minutes mixing constantly so it will not stick at the bottom and burn. Add lemon zest and remove from heat.
Place baked chicken wings on a bowl and pour the honey lemon sauce on them and toss until evenly coated. Transfer to a serving plate.
