Ingredients
- 100 g cornflakes (about 1 cup)
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 kg chicken wings (2.2 pounds)
- chili powder to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). This ensures even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Prepare the Cornflake Coating: Crush the cornflakes in a bowl (or food processor) until they resemble coarse crumbs. Add garlic salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder if desired. Mix well to combine the spices with the cornflakes.
- Coat the Chicken Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Dip each wing into the cornflake mixture, pressing firmly to coat evenly. Place the coated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
