CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN WINGS



Crispy Baked Chicken Wings image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon butcher's grind cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch of celery seeds

Steps:

  • For the wings: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with the oil.
  • Pat the wings dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with the baking powder and toss to evenly coat in a large mixing bowl. Spread the wings evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • For the dry rub: Combine the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, granulated sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne and celery seeds in a small bowl.
  • Remove the wings from the oven and add to another large mixing bowl. Season well with some of the rub, and then toss to coat. (Reserve the remaining rub for another use.) Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked chicken wings. You can find these in the freezer section of most grocery stores.
  • If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own by mixing together chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Be sure to coat the chicken wings evenly with the taco seasoning. This will help them to get a nice, even flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If you do, the chicken wings won't cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Baked taco chicken wings are an easy and delicious party food. They're perfect for game day, potlucks, or any other gathering. The chicken wings are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and they're packed with flavor. Plus, they're a lot healthier than traditional fried chicken wings. So next time you're looking for a tasty and easy appetizer, give baked taco chicken wings a try.
