Description

These lemon pepper chicken wings are an easy dish in which chicken is generously coated in peanut oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and pearl onions.

Ingredients

2 cups peanut oil, or as needed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
6 pearl onions
16 chicken wings

Directions

1 Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Whisk butter and lemon pepper seasoning together in a large bowl.
3 Place onions in the preheated oil and cook until just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard onions.
4 Working in batches, cook wings in oil until crispy on the outside and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove wings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5 Toss wings with lemon pepper mixture until completely coated. Return to paper towel-lined plate to drain excess liquid.
