Pat's spicy fried wings

1) In a small bowl whisk together the seasoning salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, cayenne pepper, poultry seasoning, and lemon pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons in a separate bowl.

2) Rinse the chicken wings in cold water and place into a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle the wings evenly with the seasoning, and let them marinate, covered and chilled, for 1 hour.

3) Whisk the eggs, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a medium size mixing bowl. Put the flour into a shallow dish. Heat the oil in a large deep-fryer or large Dutch oven to 180C.

4) Dip the chicken wings in the egg mixture then in the flour to coat well.

5) Place the wings 3 at a time into the hot oil and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray. Make sure the oil returns to temperature before adding the next batch.

6) Mix all the ingredients for the dipping sauce together in a small bowl. Serve the dipping sauce with the hot chicken wings. Sprinkle the wings with the reserved seasoning for extra-hot wings.
