CRUNCHY HONEY MUSTARD WINGS

These chicken wings are baked rather than deep fried, but they still get nice and crunchy thanks to a breadcrumb coating.

Yield: Makes 40.

CRUNCHY HONEY MUSTARD WINGS

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp prepared horseradish
  • 3 lb (1.5 kg) chicken wing drumettes
  • 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 3/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with non-stick foil.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  3. Whisk together mustard, honey and horseradish. Pour into a large heavy plastic bag. Add chicken and squeeze bag to coat chicken with mustard mixture.
  4. Combine bread crumbs, paprika and cayenne pepper in a pie plate.
  5. Working with one piece at a time, roll chicken in bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly so that crumbs adhere. Place chicken in a single layer in prepared pan.
  6. Bake at 375°F until wings are crisp and golden brown, about 1 – 1 1/4 hours. May be frozen for up to 1 month.
