Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss 24 chicken wings with 3 tbsp berbere spice blend, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 2 tbsp olive oil until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil and a wire rack. Roast in the oven for 35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skin is crisp and wings are cooked through.
  3. Step 3: While wings roast, whisk together 1/4 cup honey and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: Remove wings from oven and immediately brush the honey-lemon glaze all over them. Return to oven and broil on high for 3-4 minutes, watching closely, until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes.
  5. Step 5: Let wings rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow glaze to set. Serve warm with a side of cooling yogurt or salad.
