Firecracker Wings & Drummies

My love for chicken wings is well established. It doesn’t matter what kind, I will try them. Making them at home is a quick and simple process that doesn’t require a deep fryer or a pan of grease. I bake them in the oven until crispy, or throw them in my air fryer which takes a lot less time to bake.

Warning – as the name suggests these are a tad spicy!

Grab a sealable bag and add the canola or vegetable oil and seasonings.

Next add your wings and drummies, seal the bag (leave some air in it so you can mix it easier). Push your wings around in the oil and seasonings until they are well coated. Squeeze the air out of the bag and let sit for an hour to overnight so the seasonings permeate all through the meat. You can certainly cook them right away, but you will get a bolder flavor if you have the patience to let them sit,

When you are ready to bake, pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. Lay your wings on a parchment-lined sheet tray so they are not touching. I happened to be baking 2 different kinds today and fit them on 1 pan.

Bake them for 30 minutes, flip them over and bake for another 20 minutes or so until they are nice and crispy. Enjoy them as is or the traditional way of carrots and celery sticks with some ranch or bleu cheese dressings.

Instructions
