Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Pat the Chicken dry with paper towels, toss with the cornstarch until evenly coated, and let rest for 10 minutes.
Heat oil to 325 F (163 C) and fry the wings for 8 minutes until pale but cooked through; remove and drain.
Increase oil temperature to 375 F (190 C) and fry wings again for 3-4 minutes until deep golden brown and the skin is shattered-crisp.
Whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, and all Seasoning ingredients; toss the hot wings in the mixture immediately before serving.
