Fried Wing Flats Drizzled With Honey Lemon Pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Wings:
   • Start by rinsing the chicken wing flats under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. This helps remove any excess moisture, ensuring a crispy exterior when frying.
   • In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
   • Dredge each chicken wing flat in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Place the coated wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, allowing any excess flour to fall off. This step helps create a light and crispy coating on the wings.
2. Fry the Chicken Wings:
   • In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Make sure there is enough oil to submerge the chicken wings completely.
   • Carefully place the coated chicken wing flats into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Fry the wings for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through cooking for even browning.
   • Once the wings are cooked through and crispy, use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
3. Prepare the Honey Lemon Pepper Drizzle:
   • In a small saucepan, combine the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon pepper seasoning. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is warmed through and well combined. This should only take a few minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
4. Drizzle and Serve:
   • Place the fried chicken wing flats on a serving platter or large plate.
   • Drizzle the warm honey lemon pepper mixture over the crispy wings, ensuring each wing is evenly coated.
   • Garnish the wings with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
   • Serve the wings immediately while they are still hot and crispy, alongside your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
