TACO CHICKEN WINGS



Taco Chicken Wings image

This is spiced-up version of a recipe I found on a supermarket recipe leaflet. I find the seasoning is enough for 3 lbs or maybe some more, wings.

Provided by PetsRus

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1/2-1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 lbs chicken wings (tips removed)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a plastic bag mix together the taco seasoning mix, cornstarch, cornmeal, chili, cumin and oregano.
  • Add several wings to the bag and shake to give it a coating, repeat with the rest of the drumettes.
  • Place the wings in a single layer on a greased baking sheet(s).
  • Bake for approx 50 minutes, turning once or twice.
  • Serve with your favorite dip.

Tips:

  • Use fresh chicken wings: Fresh chicken wings will give you the best results. If you're using frozen chicken wings, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Pat the chicken wings dry: This will help the seasoning stick to the chicken and give you crispy wings.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: The recipe includes a basic seasoning blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Feel free to add other seasonings that you like, such as oregano, thyme, or cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: If you overcrowd the baking sheet, the chicken wings won't cook evenly. Make sure there is at least 1 inch of space between each chicken wing.
  • Bake the chicken wings at a high temperature: This will help the chicken wings get crispy. Bake the chicken wings at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or barbecue sauce are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Baked taco chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for game day, parties, or a casual weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these wings that are sure to be a hit with everyone.
