Preparation

Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Carefully add the chicken wings in batches to the hot oil. Fry them for about 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  3. Once cooked, remove the wings from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. While they are hot, toss the golden wings in the honey lemon pepper glaze until they are well coated.

Notes

For extra crispy wings, make sure the chicken wings are dry before frying and consider tossing them in a little cornstarch. You can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes for a healthier option.
