Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken wing flats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free rice flour for gluten-free option)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for deep frying

Honey Lemon Pepper Drizzle

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Wings: Pat dry the chicken wing flats thoroughly with paper towels to remove any moisture. This step ensures your wings will fry to maximum crispiness.
  2. Season and Coat: Season the wings generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. In a bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of extra black pepper. Dredge each wing flat evenly in the flour mixture, coating all sides.
  3. Heat Your Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan or fryer, filling it enough to submerge the wings. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) using a thermometer to maintain consistent temperature.
  4. Fry the Wings: Carefully place the coated wings into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 8–10 minutes or until wings are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Prepare the Honey Lemon Pepper Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cracked black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  6. Drizzle and Serve: Toss the hot, crispy wings in the honey lemon pepper drizzle or drizzle the sauce over the wings evenly. Ensure every piece is coated with the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and peppery flavors.

Notes

  • Dry Wings Are Crispy Wings: Always pat the wings dry before coating to prevent sogginess.
  • Consistent Oil Temperature: Use a thermometer to maintain frying oil temperature for even cooking.
  • Small Batches Fry Best: Avoid overcrowding the fryer to keep oil temperature stable and wings crispy.
  • Freshly Ground Pepper: Use cracked black pepper freshly ground for the most vibrant flavor in the drizzle.
  • Rest Before Drizzling: Let wings cool slightly to keep the drizzle texture from becoming too runny.
