    Chicken wings have a bad reputation - people often fall under the assumption that if they are to be tasty, then they are to be fried in oil... Alas, these lemon and honey-glazed chicken wings are not that at all.

    Well, at least it is true about the oil bit; they aren't fried but baked. And the healthy fat comes in the form of olive oil, which is simmered with lemon and honey to make a sumptuous glaze.

    If your mouth isn't watering yet, it should be. What we know for sure is that by the time these wings come out of the oven, slightly sticky and a tiny bit sweet, you will be salivating and ready to sneak a bite before the other hoard of fingers sweep in for an opportune chance.

    In a "traditional" recipe, the wings might be dipped in flour to allow the lemon and honey glaze to stick better, but it is lovely without, so why mess with a good gluten-free thing? If you must try it, then we suggest either almond or coconut flour as a light dusting before sending the seasoned wings off to the oven.

    While you wait for them to brown, you are free as a bird to gather all the ingredients needed for a surprising peach and bacon salad with a honey-lemon dressing, just to keep the theme going.
