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 tsp garlic powder (garlic lovers increase to 1-1/2 tsp)
1 tsp dried basil (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (can increase)
1/2 tsp paprika
10 whole chicken wings

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.

Cut the wings in half at the joint, then slice off and discard the wing tip section. 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. Serves 4-6
