Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken wings party style wings cut into sections
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • lemon wedges and parsley sprigs for serving optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the flour in a large bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  2. Place the chicken wings in the bowl; gently toss to coat with flour mixture.
  3. Heat 4 inches of oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F.
  4. Add the chicken wings to the pot in batches of about 6-8 wings. Fry for 10-12 minutes or until wings are deep golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining wings.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the butter and lemon pepper seasoning. Brush the butter mixture over the chicken wings and toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
  6. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs if desired.

Notes

  • Use a thermometer to make sure your frying oil is at the correct temperature. You want your oil to be somewhere between 350 and 375 degrees F. If the oil is too hot, the wings will burn before the insides cook through. If the oil is too cold, your wings may absorb excess oil and be overly greasy.
  • I typically use peanut oil to fry my wings, although any oil with a high smoke point will work, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
