The Recipe
Who doesn’t love fried chicken? Just at the mention of wings my mouth is watering! Buffalo, barbecue and even teriyaki are all good in my book. But if you ask me, lemon pepper is the flavor to beat. Lemon pepper seasoning takes wings to the next level. There is a zest from the lemon, a bite from the pepper and a balanced sweetness from the honey. With each bite you’ll find a new flavor to enjoy.

For the Lemon Pepper Glaze
Add salt, pepper, cayenne, lemon pepper, garlic, paprika and corn starch to flour. Place in a storage bag or paper bag and shake to mix thoroughly. Set aside.
Whisk together eggs and hot sauce in a medium-sized bowl.
Working with one chicken wing piece at a time, use tongs and add to egg mixture, thoroughly coating and allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Next, dredge the chicken wing into the flour mixture, then transfer to a plate or wire rack to set.
Repeat with all chicken pieces, then let sit for 15-20 minutes while you heat the oil.
Heat 3 inches of oil in a large, deep pot to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the oil is hot enough that it bubbles around the chicken as the edge of a piece is dipped into it, use tongs to gently and carefully place a few pieces in the oil. Make sure you don’t overcrowd the pan.
Cook the chicken, turning the wing pieces every few minutes and adjusting the heat as needed until the skin is golden-brown and the chicken is firm to the touch. This should take 7-10 minutes.
As the chicken fries, prepare the glaze. Whisk together butter, pepper, lemon pepper, honey and lemon juice until smooth.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined serving platter and continue frying the rest, adding more oil to the pot if necessary.
As chicken wings are removed and placed on paper towels, dip them into the lemon pepper glaze; sprinkle with just a little lemon pepper and serve immediately.
