Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings
- vegetable oil for frying
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
Instructions
- Cut the wings at each joint. Discard the wing tip or save it for stock.
- Add vegetable oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches a depth of 4 inches, or use a deep fryer. Preheat the oil to 350°F.
- Deep-fry the wings in batches for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once to ensure they cook evenly. Depending on the size of your pot, you should be able to fry about 5 or 6 wings at a time. When the wings are just beginning to brown, remove them from the oil and drain them on a wire rack resting on a cookie sheet.
- Combine the melted butter and lemon pepper seasoning in a large bowl. Place the fried wings in the bowl and toss to coat.
