Instructions

Cooking Instructions:

  • Start by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels for maximum crispiness.

  • Carefully add wings to the hot oil in batches; fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in lemon pepper seasoning and grated lemon zest.
  • Transfer fried wings to a mixing bowl, pour lemon pepper sauce over, and toss to coat.
  • Plate the wings and serve immediately, optionally with celery sticks and dipping sauce.

Equipment

  • Deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot

Notes

  • Ensure wings are dry before frying for crispy skin.
  • Monitor oil temperature closely to avoid greasy wings.
  • Consider double frying for extra crispiness.
