Ingredients

2.5 lb party wings (Source gives 2 to 3 lb; pat very dry with paper towels.)
1.5 tbsp Uncle Dibbz Atlanta Lemon Pepper Mild
1 tbsp baking powder (Not baking soda.)
2 tbsp cornstarch
neutral oil (For frying; amount not specified.)
1 stick unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest (Plus extra for finishing; amount not specified.)
1.25 tbsp Uncle Dibbz Atlanta Lemon Pepper Hot (Source gives 1 to 1½ tbsp; plus a light sprinkle for finishing, amount not specified.)
1 tsp honey
lemon slices (Optional, for serving; amount not specified.)

Steps

1
Pat the wings very dry with paper towels. If time allows, arrange them uncovered in the refrigerator for 1 hour to dry further.
2
Put the wings in a large bowl. Add the Atlanta Lemon Pepper Mild, baking powder, and cornstarch, then toss until every wing is evenly coated.
3
Heat neutral oil to 350°F (175°C). Working in batches, fry the wings for 8–10 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
4
Remove the wings from the oil and let them rest for 2–3 minutes.
5
Raise the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the wings again for 1–2 minutes to crisp and tighten the skin.
6
In a skillet over low heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
7
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, Atlanta Lemon Pepper Hot, and honey. Mix until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
8
Transfer the hot fried wings to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over them and toss until evenly coated; avoid using so much sauce that the wings become heavy or soggy.
9
Top with extra lemon zest and a light sprinkle of Atlanta Lemon Pepper Hot. Serve hot, with optional lemon slices.

Notes

The page recommends not over-saucing: the wings should be glossy and wet, not heavy or soggy. Fresh zest added at the end brightens the dish. The source gives a 2–3 lb wing range and a 1–1½ tbsp hot seasoning range; midpoint amounts are used for numeric scaling. Neutral frying oil and finishing garnish amounts are unspecified.
