Ingredients
2 pounds chicken wings (wingtips removed)
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
40 ozs. Vegetable oil for deep-frying
1 tbsp. vinegar
Lemon Pepper Sauce
1 stick of butter, melted
6 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
½ tsp. lemon zest (optional)
½ tsp. cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
½ tsp. chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the deep fryer to 375 degrees or use a Dutch oven with a thermometer to check the temperature.
First, wash the wings in 1 tablespoon of vinegar and warm water to remove any film or debris.
Cut the wings into sections flats, wingettes, and wingtips. After that, remove the wingtips from the recipe. For example they can be used at a later date to make chicken stock. Now with a paper towel pat the chicken wings dry.
First, sprinkle the wings with the pepper and onion powder.
Next, deep-fry half the wings for 8 to 12 minutes. Bring the oil up to temperature then cook the last batch.
Melt the butter in a glass measuring cup in the microwave. Remove from the microwave.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, cracked pepper, and lemon pepper seasoning to the butter and mix thoroughly.
Next, in a large mixing bowl add the lemon pepper sauce and the wing to the bowl and toss until thoroughly coated.
Lastly, serve the wings with a blue cheese dressing, along with fries, carrots and celery sticks. Enjoy!
