★Instructions
Prepare the chicken wings* Wash the wings thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Make the marinade* In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Marinate the wings* Place the wings into the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes so they can absorb the flavors.
Bake or Grill* Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or an oven-safe rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning the wings halfway through for a golden, crispy texture.
Serve* Serve the wings hot with extra sauce drizzled on top.
