RSS FeedSpicy Chicken Wings
(Serves 8 to 10)
We love this recipe for chicken wings as it is just the right amount of spice – not too hot, not too bland. We also like serving these wings with guacamole instead of blue cheese dressing, a trick we picked up at a neighborhood cocktail party. You could also serve them with Ranch salad dressing.
- 3 pounds chicken wings or drumettes (we prefer drumettes)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups purchased (or homemade) guacamole
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly coat the rack of a broiler pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Pat the chicken wings dry and place in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together all the remaining ingredients except for the guacamole. Pour over the chicken and, using your hands, toss to coat. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared broiler pan. Bake for around 30 minutes or until the wings are tender, browned and no longer pink. Can be served at room temperature with the guacamole on the side.
Make ahead: The wings can be made earlier in the day and kept at room temperature, covered, until serving.
