These lemon pepper wings have just a handful of ingredients but are big on flavor! Chicken wings are coated in seasoned flour, deep fried to a golden brown and brushed with an irresistible lemon pepper butter. Serve these wings as is, or with a side of ranch for dipping. You’ll want to buy wings that are already cut into segments for this recipe, my store calls them party wings. These lemon pepper chicken wings are the perfect appetizer, game day snack or dinner option!

Lemon Pepper Wings

Serves 6-8

3 lbs chicken wings cut into sections (sometimes called party wings at the store)
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 cup butter melted
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
oil for frying

Place the flour in a bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Place the chicken wings in the bowl; gently toss to coat with flour mixture.
Heat 4 inches of oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F.
Add the chicken wings to the pot in batches of about 6-8 wings. Fry for 12-15 minutes or until wings are deep golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining wings.
In a small bowl, combine the butter and lemon pepper seasoning. Drizzle over chicken wings and toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
