Crispy Chicken Wings

Crispy Chicken Wings
Difficulty 1


Chicken wings
1/2 stick butter flavored Crisco
3 c flour
2 tblsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
Salt and Pepper

Preheat oven to 400. Line a 9x13 pan with aluminum foil. Melt Crisco in the oven.

Meanwhile in a large baggie, mix together flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Put 3 or 4 wings in the bag and shake to coat. Place in melted Crisco. Repeat until all wings are coated.

Bake for 40 mins. Flip over and bake for another 30 mins.


Tweaks:
1. Add 5 tblsps minced garlic in melted Crisco for a buttery garlic flavored wing.

2. Top with BBQ sauce and sesame seeds for bbq wings.

3. Top with 1 c hot sauce mixed with 1 stick of butter for mild wings. Add more hot sauce to increase heat.

4. Grill wings rather than bake them. Dip in melted Crisco before grilling. Baste them with Teriyaki or bbq sauce while grilling.

5. Substitute chicken tenders in place of chicken wings.

6. Substitute skin on, bone in, thighs or breasts in place of wings.
