Ingredients
For the Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 ½ teaspoons salt divided
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups canola oil
To Serve
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Instructions
- Mix chicken wings, 1 teaspoon salt, garlic powder and lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.2 pounds chicken wings, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Mix the flour with the pepper and 1 ½ teaspoons of salt in a plastic bag and shake to mix. Add the chicken wings and shake until fully covered.½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon pepper
- Heat a 12" electric skillet* to 350°F and add the oil (there should be enough oil to reach about ½ way up the chicken wings).2 cups canola oil
- Once oil is hot, shake off the excess flour from the chicken wings and fry until golden brown and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (around 5 to 6 minutes per side). Don't crowd the pan, as that will cool the oil down.
- Remove to a baking rack with paper towel underneath to catch any oil drippings. Sprinkle the wings with some lemon pepper seasoning.
- Right before serving, melt the butter in a small bowl. Mix with the lemon pepper seasoning and lemon juice.¼ cup butter, 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning, 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Serve the chicken wings with the lemon pepper sauce and top with the minced parsley.2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Notes
- *If using an electric skillet that is larger than 12", you will need to add more oil for frying. The oil should come about ½ way up the chicken or a little higher.
- Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
