For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the lemon pepper seasoning. If you don't have pearl onions, you can use a small piece of regular onion or a shallot to infuse the oil. Adjust the amount of lemon pepper seasoning to your taste. For a more intense lemon flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the butter mixture. Wings can be baked at 400 degree for 40-45 minutes if you want a healthier option.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Frying Oil: In a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the peanut oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepMake the Lemon Pepper Coating: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and lemon pepper seasoning until well combined. Set aside. (2 minutes)
03
StepInfuse the Oil (Optional): Carefully place the pearl onions in the preheated oil. Cook until they just begin to brown and caramelize, about 5 minutes. This will infuse the oil with a subtle sweetness that complements the lemon pepper flavor. Remove and discard the onions. (5 minutes)
04
StepFry the Wings: Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer, carefully add the chicken wings to the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and cooked through, about 8 minutes per batch. An internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) is recommended. (25 minutes)
05
StepDrain Excess Oil: Remove the fried wings from the oil using a slotted spoon or fryer basket. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (3 minutes)
06
StepCoat the Wings: While the wings are still hot, transfer them to the bowl with the lemon pepper butter mixture. Toss well to ensure they are evenly coated. (2 minutes)
07
StepFinal Drain (Optional): For extra crispy wings, return the coated wings to a fresh paper towel-lined plate for a minute or two to drain any excess liquid. (2 minutes)
08
StepServe Immediately: Serve the Lemon Pepper Wings hot and enjoy!
