Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces chicken wing sections
- 240 ml low-fat buttermilk
- 120 g whole wheat flour
- 60 g cornmeal
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 bottle extra virgin olive oil spray
- 2 tbsp parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set a wire rack on top of it.
In a large bowl, add the chicken wing sections and pour the buttermilk over them. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Let them marinate while you prepare the dry mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.
One by one, remove each wing piece from the buttermilk and coat thoroughly with the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres. Shake off any excess mixture.
Place the coated wings on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other to allow even cooking.
Spray each wing lightly with extra virgin olive oil spray, which will help them crisp up while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, carefully flip the wings and spray again lightly with olive oil.
Continue to bake for another 15 minutes until wings are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot, and enjoy your heart-healthy crispy wing dings with your favorite dipping sauce.
