Method
 

  1. Place the flour in a large bowl and season with the salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

  3. Heat 4 inches of oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F.

Notes

Use a thermometer to check your frying oil temperature. You want the oil between 350 and 375 degrees F. If the oil is too hot, the wings will burn before they cook inside. If the oil is too cold, your wings may absorb too much oil and become greasy.
I use peanut oil to fry my wings, but any oil with a high smoke point, like vegetable oil or canola oil, will work.
