  • Season chicken wings on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, seasoned salt, and MSG.
  • Use a basting brush to coat each wing with a thin layer of mustard. Pour flour into a plastic bag, add chicken, and shake to coat.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook chicken in hot oil until no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
