Ingredients

Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, wings and flats are okay
  • ¼ cup (62 g) yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup (68 g) buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • vegetable oil, for frying

Sauce

  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup (85 g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 1 medium lemon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wings

  • Place the chicken wings in a large bowl. Add mustard and buffalo sauce. Toss to coat.
  • To a separate bowl, add flour. Toss each wing in the flour to coat. Shake off any excess breading and place onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Frying in Oil*

  • Fill a large pot with vegetable oil until it reaches halfway up the pot*. Heat the pot until the oil reaches 375°F, using a thermometer to check the temperature. While the oil is heating, set a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
  • Working 2-3 wings at a time to maintain the oil temperature, add the wings to the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
  • Carefully remove the wings from the oil and place them on the wire rack.
  • Bring the oil temperature back up to 375°F. Once hot enough, place the fried wings back into the oil for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the oil and set on the wire rack to allow excess oil to drain off as you make the sauce.

Sauce

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Add honey, lemon juice, and salt. Stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Place the wings into a large bowl.
  • Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
  • Serve with homemade ranch dressing for dipping.
