Harissa and Lemon-Pepper Wings

1 . Stage

Mix together lemon-pepper seasoning and 1 tablespoon harissa paste in a bowl. Pat dry the wings and place in a resealable plastic bag. Add seasoning mix, close bag, and shake, massaging the seasoning until every part of wings is well coated. Refrigerate for 1 hour or more.

2 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

3 . Stage

Remove chicken wings from refrigerate and allow to come to room temperature while oven preheats.

4 . Stage

Whisk remaining harissa paste and honey in a small bowl until fully mixed.

5 . Stage

Place wings, meaty-sides up, on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch between each wing. Baste exposed sides with harissa-honey sauce.

6 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn each wing and baste with remaining sauce. Bake until wings are cooked throughout and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes more.

7 . Stage

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler. Crisp wings under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, if desired. Top with fresh lemon zest before serving.
