Instructions
Begin by preparing your chicken wings. If they are whole, separate them into flats and drumettes. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the harissa paste, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Add the cleaned chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade and coat thoroughly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the wings to a sealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 to 4 hours.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Remove the wings from the refrigerator and place them in a single layer on the wire rack.
Bake the wings for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs and your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
