Ingredients:

  • ~ 2 lbs of chicken wings

For Marinade:

  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne powder

For Coating:

  • 1/2 cup of rice flour (I use brown)
  • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper

Steps:

  1. If your wings aren't already split into 3 pieces, cut them at the joints so you have the drum, flat, and the tip.
  2. Add the drum, and flats to the marinade
  3. Marinade the wings for at least 2 hours, but I find 8 is best. Longer than 8 and they get too hot for me.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 F
  5. Line a baking sheet with foil, and put an oven-safe rack on top of it
  6. In a shallow bowl, combine the coating ingredients
  7. Coat each drum and flat with the flour mixture. Make sure to dust off any excess flour.
  8. Arrange the pieces in a single layer on the rack so no wing piece is touching
  9. Lightly mist the coated chicken with oil spray
  10. Bake for 45-55 minutes until the chicken has a golden brown color
  11. Flip the wings halfway through cooking
  12. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving
