Scatter flour over chicken wings; toss to coat. Discard any remaining marinade.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Heat shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry chicken in hot shortening until golden, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer fried chicken to a baking sheet.
