Crispy Fried Wing Flats Drizzled With Honey Lemon Pepper

• Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be enough to submerge the wings for frying.
• Remove the chicken wings from the buttermilk and allow any excess liquid to drip off.
• Dredge each wing flat in the flour mixture, coating evenly on both sides.
• Carefully drop the coated wings into the hot oil. Fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
• Fry for about 7-9 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn them occasionally for even cooking.
• Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Make the Honey Lemon Pepper Sauce:

• While the wings are frying, prepare the sauce by combining honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon pepper seasoning in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Stir continuously and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
• Taste the sauce and adjust the lemon juice or honey as desired for more tang or sweetness.

5. Toss the Wings in Sauce:

• Once all the wings are fried, place them in a large mixing bowl.
• Drizzle the honey lemon pepper sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat them evenly. You can drizzle the sauce lightly or generously, depending on your preference.

6. Serve:

• Arrange the crispy fried wing flats on a platter, and garnish with extra lemon zest or chopped parsley for color, if desired.
• Serve immediately while the wings are hot and crispy!
