Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons oil (* See notes)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pat dry the chicken wings with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Separate chicken wings flats from the drums with a knife or scissors.

  3. 3

    Combine the spices, flour, cornstarch, and baking powder, and mix well.

  4. 4

    Toss the wings inside the mixture to coat well and shake off any excess flour.
