Mustard Fried Chicken Wings

By Stuart

"Chicken wings are seasoned with a delicate mixture of spices, then coated in mustard and floured before being fried until crisp. If you don't have a deep-fryer, you may use a heavy skillet, but for crispier chicken, I would prefer a deep-fryer. This chicken is SO good!"

Ingredients

• • 5 pounds chicken wings, separated at joints, tips discarded
• • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
• • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• • 2 tablespoons onion powder
• • 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• • 1 tablespoon monosodium glutamate (MSG, or Accent flavor enhancer) (optional)
• • 3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
• • 3 cups all-purpose flour
• • 1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

Preparation

Step 1

1. Season the chicken wings on both sides by sprinkling with seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and MSG. I like to lay it all out on a big plastic bag for easier clean up. Coat each piece with a thin layer of mustard. You may use a basting brush or your fingers. Put the flour into a plastic bag, add the chicken, and shake to coat.
2. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or deep heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear. Drain on paper towels, and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
