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.
