Crispy Fried Wing Flats Drizzled with Honey Lemon Pepper are a flavorful and irresistible treat, perfect as an appetizer or main dish. The crispy coating on the wing flats (also known as the “drumettes”) combined with the sweet and tangy honey lemon pepper sauce creates an unforgettable flavor combination. Here’s a step-by-step recipe to make this delicious dish:

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • 10-12 chicken wing flats (the part of the wing without the drumstick)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (for marinating)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, helps with crunch)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Honey Lemon Pepper Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or more to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (for extra lemon flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

  • Place the wing flats in a large bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, ensuring the wings are fully submerged.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This helps tenderize the chicken and allows the flavors to absorb.

2. Prepare the Coating:

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Mix well to combine, ensuring there are no lumps.

3. Fry the Chicken:
