Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse the chicken wings thoroughly under cold running water, then soak them in a mixture of water and lemon juice to enhance flavor. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- If you notice any stray feathers on the chicken wings, use kitchen tweezers or your fingers to pluck them out. Set the wings aside in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, Accent seasoning, and lemon pepper. Mix well and sprinkle half over the prepared wings.
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and the remaining seasoning blend. Whisk together until fully mixed.
- Dredge each wing in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating. Shake off excess flour and set aside on a wire rack.
- Heat the peanut oil to 350°F in a deep pot or fryer. Monitor the temperature carefully.
- Lower the wings into the hot oil, frying in batches for about 8-11 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Check for an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the wings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet to drain.
