Fill a large 5 to 6-quart heavy pot with 2-inches of oil. Heat over medium heat until a deep fry thermometer registers 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Working in batches, pat 5 to 6 wings dry with VIVA(R) towels. Gently drop wings into the hot oil. Move them gently in the oil with a spider or slotted spoon so the wings don't stick together. Fry until crispy and golden, about 7 minutes. Remove to a VIVA(R) towel lined plate and season with salt immediately. Continue with remaining batches.

Create your own hand wipes for guests to clean up after eating messy Chicken Wings by using VIVA(R) Select-A-Size towels. Fold individual VIVA(R) towels in half lengthwise, then, starting at one of the short ends, roll each towel into a tight spiral. Repeat with as many VIVA(R) towels as desired. Prepare lemon water by squeezing fresh lemon juice into clean water in a bowl. Soak prepared VIVA(R) towels in lemon water and arrange on a small tray. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired.
