Chicken wings are a favorite for many and probably one of the top requests for a recipe. It is a family favorite of ours, too. The reason this is left for maintenance is because chicken wings vary so greatly in size and differ between flats and drumettes, so it’s hard to get a correct protein count. Most wing recipes contain varying sauces, which can contain a lot of sugars, but this recipe uses spices to flavor the wings as they “fry” in the oven. They are wonderfully crispy, too!

This recipe can be cut in half, as well.
