You’ll Never Fry or Bake Chicken Wings Again 🤯

chicken wings

🥗Healthier: chicken drumsticks

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Drumsticks and thighs are often less expensive and still provide great flavor.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Almond flour is lower in carbs, while cornstarch is often cheaper and gluten-free.

hot sauce

🥗Healthier: sriracha

💰Cheaper: homemade hot sauce

Sriracha offers a different flavor profile, while homemade can be more cost-effective.

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) if baking.

Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Add chicken wings to the bowl and toss until evenly coated in the flour mixture.

Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

Alternatively, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

Fry wings in batches for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove wings from oil and drain on paper towels.

In a separate bowl, mix hot sauce and melted butter.

Toss fried wings in the hot sauce mixture until well coated.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
