Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 pounds fresh chicken wings (cut at the joint, tips discarded)
  • 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a large baking sheet with non stick spray.
  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour and all spices. Close the bag and shake to incorporate the spices into the flour. 
  • After cutting the wings at the joint, pat them completely dry. 
  • Add the wings into the flour mixture. Seal the bag and turn several times, tossing the wings to coat. Use your hands to press the flour + spice mixture into the wings. 
  • Melt the butter in a large bowl. Add the coated wings into the bowl and toss quickly to lightly coat the wings. 
  • Place the coated wings onto the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn the wings and bake for another 15 minutes.
  • If you are coating with sauce, after baking brush the wings on all sides with barbecue sauce. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, then serve.
