Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/3 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl and mix well.
  • Cut the wings at each joint, and discard the wing tip or save it for stock. Dredge the drumettes and wingettes in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
  • Add vegetable oil to a medium-sized saucepan 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 5 to 7 minutes, stirring once to make sure they cook evenly. Depending on the size of your pot, you may 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.
  • In the preheated oven, bake the wings on the wire rack over the cookie sheet for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • When chicken wings have finished baking, place them in a bowl with the butter and lemon pepper seasoning and stir until coated.
