SPICY OVEN-BAKED BREADED CHICKEN WINGS

Category: Wings

1 large egg
1 tbsp water
2 tsp hot sauce
2/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 tsp onion powder
1 to 1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried basil (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
1/2 to 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
10 whole chicken wings, wing tips cut off and discarded and wings halved at the joint

Preheat oven to 425. Set oven rack to lowest position. Grease a large jelly-roll baking pan.

In a shallow bowl whisk egg with water and hot sauce until combined. In another shallow bowl combine dry breadcrumbs with the next 5 ingredients. Dip the wings firstly in the egg mixture allowing any excess to drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Place onto baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes turning every 10 minutes.
