Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Wings:

1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to help them crisp up perfectly in the fryer.
2. In a large bowl, toss the wings with avocado oil, hot sauce, Nature Seasoning, Kimmy’s Hot Honey, and lemon pepper seasoning.
3. Add cornstarch and toss the wings again to evenly coat. If the wings look under-seasoned, feel free to add more seasoning to taste. Don’t be shy!
4. Set the wings aside while you prep the sauce and ranch.

Make the Hot Honey Sauce:

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Add honey, hot sauce, lemon pepper seasoning, and lemon juice. Stir it all together until it’s combined.
3. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens up just a bit.
4. Remove from heat and set aside.

Fry the Chicken Wings:

1. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or a large pot.
   If you don’t have a thermometer, here’s what you can do:
   Bread Test: Drop a small piece of bread into the oil. If it browns in about 60 seconds, the oil is ready. If it sinks or takes too long, it’s too cold. If it burns quickly, it’s too hot.
   Water Test: Drop a tiny amount of water into the oil. If it sizzles and bubbles immediately, the oil is hot enough. (Use caution with this one to avoid splattering!).
   
2. Carefully add the wings to the hot oil, working in batches if needed. Fry the wings for 8-10 minutes, or until they’re golden brown, crispy, and floating on the surface of the oil.
   
3. Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Crispy wings will always equal happy wings.
   

Toss the Wings in Hot Honey Sauce:

1. Once the wings are crispy and golden, toss them in the hot honey sauce. Make sure every wing gets a good coating—this is the part where the magic happens!
   
2. The sauce will be sticky, sweet, and have just the right amount of heat to make each bite a little addictive. Trust me, you won’t be able to stop.

Serve:

1. Plate the wings and serve immediately with your homemade ranch on the side for dipping (because ranch makes everything better, am I right?).
   
2. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy these crispy, flavorful wings that hit that sweet, spicy, and tangy flavor trifecta!
