HOT WINGS

1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup unbleached flour
1 tbsp. ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
15 chicken wings (about 2 1/2 lb.)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Brush a 12x17-inch jelly roll pan or a cookie sheet with vegetable oil.

In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper; set aside.

With a sharp knife separate the wings into segments. Reserve the tip of the wings for another use. A few at a time, turn the wing segments in the cornmeal mix. Shake of the excess coating and arrange the wings without crowding, in the oiled pan.

Set the pan on a rack in the top third of the oven. Bake turning once for about 1 hour until crisp and evenly brown. Drain briefly on paper towels and serve hot.

Hello,

These recipes don't call for browning the wings before baking them, but if your recipe doesn't turn up maybe you can 'wing it' :-). We'll keep looking.

Happy Cooking!
