The spicy mustard mixture helps the flour adhere to the wings, giving them a nice crisp texture when fried.

ingredients
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed
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), optional
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
3 cups all-purpose flour
directions
Heat the oil in a deep fryer (or deep skillet) to 350 degrees F.
Spread a sheet of waxed paper out on a work surface (it should be large enough to hold the chicken wing pieces in a single layer).
Combine the seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and MSG in a small bowl. Mix well. Add the mustard and mix until combined.
Evenly spread half the mustard mixture over the chicken wings using a pastry brush. Turn the wings over and spread the pieces with the remaining seasoning mixture.
Place the flour in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the wings in batches and shake to coat in the flour. Remove the wings and shake off any excess flour. Repeat with the remaining wings, placing the floured wings back on the waxed paper.
Add the wings, in batches, to the hot oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the wings from the oil with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling or a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet to catch the grease. Repeat with the remaining wings.
Serve the wings hot.
recipe tips
Make sure the wings are thoroughly coated with the mustard mixture so the flour adheres better.
Don't overcrowd the frying pan; cook in batches if necessary to maintain oil temperature.
Turn the wings only once during cooking to get a crispy exterior.
For extra flavor, let the seasoned wings marinate in the refrigerator for an hour before coating with the flour.
Try adding other spices to the flour, like cayenne pepper or smoked paprika, for more heat.
Wear gloves when mixing the wings with mustard if you don't want to get your hands messy.
Always be careful when working with hot oil to avoid splatters and burns.
Serve the wings with celery sticks and a dipping sauce.
common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of mustard?
Yes, you can use Dijon or spicy brown mustard for a different flavor.
Is the MSG necessary?
No, MSG is optional. It enhances flavor but can be omitted if you prefer.
Can I bake these wings instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them at 425 degrees F for about 45 minutes, but they will have a different texture. You can also air fry them at 400 degrees F for about 30-35 minutes, or until done.
How do I know when the oil is at the right temperature?
Use a frying thermometer, or check if a small amount of flour sizzles when sprinkled in the oil.
Can I use a different type of flour?
All-purpose flour is standard, but you can use self-rising flour for a slightly different texture.
What can I substitute for seasoned salt?
You can use a mix of regular salt and a bit of paprika or cayenne pepper.
Can I make these wings less spicy?
Reduce the amount of black pepper and choose a milder mustard.

reviews & comments
I plan on making this recipe over the weekend. Is it ok to marinate these wings? If so, for how long? Shouldn't the flour be seasoned as well? Thanx for your response
You don't need to marinate the wings. They'll have a ton of flavor from the spice rub, and they don't really need a marinade for texture purposes. And no, you don't need to season the flour.
Use your air fryer, spray with olive oil, turn half way thru. No oil splatter or heat from the oven,
