Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat wings completely dry with paper towels. Toss with 1 tbsp avocado oil, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
  2. Step 2: Arrange wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  3. Step 3: Whisk remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil, harissa paste, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl.
  4. Step 4: Remove wings from oven, drizzle with harissa mixture, and toss gently to coat evenly. Return to oven for 5 minutes to set the glaze.
