Chinese Hot Wings



LOVE me some hot wings...but as much as I love 'em, the traditional style of deep frying and melted butter makes me cringe! So here's a healthy cooking method of Chinese wings. (*Remember, eating the skin is NOT healthy, but tasty!!!)

- 2 lbs of drumettes (or wings)
- salt
- cayenne pepper
- five-spice powder (anise seed, cinnamon, fennel, clove, & garlic)

1. Preheat oven to 500 F.
2. Add salt, cayenne, and 5-spice on wings.
3. Flip and repeat.
4. Lay on lightly greased baking sheet (used Pam spray).
5. Bake for at least 30 minutes, flipping drumettes in process.
6. When the skin is golden brown and crispy, then it's time!

The result should be a crispy skin and super super hot wings. The cayenne gives the heat but the five-spice gives it a completely different flavor. Remember to use salt, b/c it would be super bland w/o it!
