Baked Chicken Wings

These are the best chicken wings I have ever had.  Not only are these tasty, but they are baked too, so I don't feel bad about eating them.  This method produces moist, flavorful meat with a deliciously crisp skin.  Don't these just look mouthwatering?  I can already taste the hot sauce just thinking about it.

 

 

Ingredients:

1 dozen Chicken Wings (I used Organic)

1/2 Cup Arrowroot Powder (If you don't have it, you can use cornstarch)

1 tsp Paprika

1 tsp Garlic Powder

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

1/2 tsp Fresh Ground Pepper (We like a lot of pepper)

Coconut Oil for the Pan (You can also use butter, or olive oil)

 

Preheat your oven to 400° and oil your pan.  I have had the most success when using my cast iron griddle pan.  It holds the heat really well.  I would suggest you use cast iron, but if you do not have cast iron use a thick cookie sheet.

 

With a paper towel dry each chicken wing.  This step is really important.  This is what makes the skin really crispy.

 

In a bowl mix together the arrowroot powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.  Coat each piece of chicken in the mixture and place on the cookie sheet leaving adequate space between each piece.  Continue until you have coated all pieces.

 

Allow the arrowroot mixture to rest on the chicken for 10 minutes.

 

Bake the wings for 30 minutes, flipping half way.  Check a wing to make sure the meat near the bone is not pink.

 

We don't toss our wings in hot sauce because one of my boys likes spicy and the other doesn't.  You can either toss your wings in your sauce of choice, dip them, or eat them as is.  The skin has really great flavor.
