From Southern Living's Ultimate Book of Appetizers, these sound tasty. NOTE #1: Based on the 4 previous reviews, I've changed the recipe to decrease the amount of cinnamon, since the reviews indicate that the recipe seems heavy on the cinnamon. Original recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of cinnamon - you make the call! NOTE #2: The directions for this recipe seemed somewhat lacking in the book, so I embellished a little. I would recommend for step #7, to either spray or spritz the oil on the chicken rather than brushing it on.
Ingredients:
5 lbs chicken wings
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (amount decreased from 2t in original recipe)
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons ground red pepper
2 tablespoons black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
1. Cut off and discard chicken wing tips; cut wings in half at joint.
2. Combine chicken, lemon juice, and garlic, tossing gently. Let chicken marinate 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to re-coat.
3. Meanwhile, line a 15 x 10-inch jellyroll pan with aluminum foil; lightly grease aluminum foil and set pan aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
4. Combine flour and next 7 ingredients in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; seal bag, and shake to mix ingredients.
5. Remove chicken from lemon juice mixture, discarding lemon juice mixture.
6. Place chicken, a few pieces at a time, in bag with flour mixture; seal bag, and shake to coat chicken.
7. Place chicken on prepared pan, brush with oil. Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes or until done.
