Description

This mustard fried chicken is made with wings seasoned with pantry spices, coated in mustard, then fried until crisp for a tasty appetizer or meal.

Ingredients

5 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints, tips discarded
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
1 tablespoon monosodium glutamate (MSG, or Accent flavor enhancer)
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

1 Season chicken wings on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, seasoned salt, and MSG.
2 Use a basting brush to coat each wing with a thin layer of mustard. Pour flour into a plastic bag, add chicken, and shake to coat.
3 Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4 Cook chicken in hot oil until no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
