1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to your heat preference)
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil (for frying or baking)
For the Cheese Fries:
Frozen or fresh French fries (about 4 cups)

2 tbsp chopped bacon bits (cooked and crispy)
1 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
🔥 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Hot Honey Lemon Pepper Wings:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat oil in a skillet for frying.
Season the chicken wings with salt, pepper, and lemon pepper seasoning.
If baking: Arrange wings on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes or until crispy, flipping halfway through.
If frying: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry wings for 8–10 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
In a separate bowl, mix honey, lemon juice, hot sauce, and extra lemon pepper seasoning.
Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the hot honey lemon pepper sauce until well coated.
2. Prepare the Cheese Fries:
Cook the French fries according to the package instructions, either by baking or frying.
Once cooked, arrange the fries on a plate and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
Place the fries under the broiler or in the oven for 2–3 minutes, just until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
Top with sour cream, crispy bacon bits, green onions, and a sprinkle of garlic powder (optional).
3. Serve:
Plate the hot honey lemon pepper wings with a side of cheesy fries.
Enjoy your delicious meal!
