Step 1

In a bowl, add the chicken wings and season with lemon pepper seasoning (see note about salt), paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, yellow mustard and egg. If your lemon pepper seasoning is salt-free, add 1 tsp of kosher salt. Mix until combined and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, make the Seasoning Mix by combining flour, cornstarch, lemon pepper seasoning (see note about salt), and baking powder. Whisk to combine.

Step 3

Dredge the marinated chicken in the seasoning mix, ensuring all parts of the wing is coated in the seasoning dredge. Use your hand to pack in the dredge to help it stick to the wings. Repeat until all wings are coated in the seasoning mixture.

Step 4

Line a tray with a wire rack. Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pot to 350F over medium high heat, then fry half of the chicken wings for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature is 165F. Drain the wings on the wire rack and repeat with the remaining wings. Ensure that the oil temperature does not drop below 325F during frying (do not overcrowd the oil).

Step 5

In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, honey, and parsley and whisk to combine. If desired, skim off the milk solids with a spoon prior to adding to the wings.

Step 6

Add the sauce in a bowl with the wings and toss to coat, or brush the sauce over the wings as desired. Enjoy!
