Sweet Chili Chicken Wings


INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR DISH:                                                                        
12 Chicken Wings (trimmed)
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Garlic Salt
1 tbsp Sea Salt
1 tsp Granulated Garlic
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
3 tbsp Buffalo Sauce (Franks)
 1 cup All Purpose Flour (or enough to coat wings entirely)

EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR DISH:
1 gallon Ziplock bag
Cooking Spray
Baking Sheet


THOROUGH RECIPE / BREAKDOWN OF HOW YOU WILL PREPARE AND COOK DISH:

Heat Oven to 425 degrees.  Add Chicken wings to ziplock bag along with oil and mix.  Add all dry seasonings to a bowl and stir together then add to bag and mix again to coat.  Next add Buffalo Sauce and mix until all wings are thoroughly coated.  Finally, add flour to the bag and shake for 30 seconds.  Gently remove one wing at a time from the bag shaking as much access flour as you can and place on thoroughly greased cookie sheet.  Line wings on the cookie sheet so that they are close, but not touching.  Once all of the wings are on the sheet, spray each wing with cooking spray (tops only).  Bake in 425-degree oven for 30 mins then turn wings over.  Return to over for another 30 mins or until crispy.  Move wings to bowl and add any sauces desired and toss (recommended with homemade Thai Chili sauce or buffalo sauce).  Cool for 5 mins before serving.
