In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the cooking oil until it reaches 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure accuracy.

In a large bowl, mix the extra-virgin olive oil and lemon pepper seasoning. Set aside.

Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel.

Carefully drop the wings into the hot oil and fry in batches for about 7-8 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure each wing reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the cooked wings on a wire baking rack and continue frying until all the wings are done.

While the wings are still hot, toss them in the lemon pepper and olive oil mixture.

Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce if desired. Enjoy!
