CopyCat Buffalo Wild Wings Lemon Pepper Wings

🧂 Ingredients

• ½ cup butter

  1 stick
• ¼ cup honey

  optional see notes
• 2 Tablespoons oil

  Canola or Vegetable
• 1 ½ to 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 20 chicken wings

  seperated
• Oil for Frying

  Canola or Vegetable
• Extra Lemon Pepper Seasoning

Instructions

• 1 In a large frying pan, deep fryer, or Dutch oven heat the oil for frying
• 2 While the oil heats, pat your chicken wings dry, this will prevent them from
  popping when you put them in the pan as well as creates a crispier skin.
• 3 Once the oil is hot, add the chicken wings in batches and cook until cooked
  through or 165° internally on an instant read thermometer. Cook the wings in
  batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Each batch should take about 12-15
  minutes, turning the wings halfway through.
• 4 While the wings are cooking, begin making the clarified butter for the sauce.
  Place the butter in a pot over medium heat and melt.
• 5 Once the butter is melted, remove from the heat and skim the foam from the top
  of the butter.
• 6 Pour the butter into a measuring cup.
• 7 Add the 2 Tablespoons of oil and the lemon pepper seasoning to the butter.
• 8 Place the lemon pepper butter sauce in the fridge to thicken a bit.
• 9 As the chicken finishes cooking, drain on a paper towel for 2-3 minutes and
  place in a large mixing bowl.
• 10 Once all of the wings are fully cooked and added to the bowl, give the lemon
  pepper sauce a stir to combine and pour over the wings.
• 11 Toss the wings in the lemon pepper sauce until fully coated.
• 12 Sprinkle on extra lemon pepper seasoning for extra lemony flavor or add a
  drizzle of honey for added sweetness depending on your preference.
• 13 Enjoy immediately!
