Author: Naive Cook Cooks

Serves: 2-3 Servings

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings, cleaned
6 tbsp all purpose flour
2.5 tbsp baking powder
1 egg
Few tbsps of your favorite hot sauce
Salt & black pepper to taste
2 cups corn tortilla chips, crushed
Few tbsp of oil
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Extra's : Tomato Salsa, Picked jalapenos, olives, cilantro, green onion, tomato

Instructions

In a bowl, transfer all the cleaned chicken wings.
In another small bowl, mix flour and baking powder. Using a spoon add all the flour mix to the wings.
Using tongs, move the wings around slowly but carefully so each and every wing gets coated with flour mix.
Now use either a roasting pan with a rack or adjust an oven safe rack on top of a lined baking sheet. I like lining up the baking sheet or the roasting pan so it's much easier to clean.
Using tongs or hands, Adjust all the flour coated chicken wings on top of the rack and let them chill in refrigerator for 10 -15 mins.
Meanwhile break egg in a shallow bowl and add salt, pepper and hot sauce to it. Stir until evenly mixed.
In another plate, keep the crushed tortilla chips.
Now take flour coated wings one at a time, drench them in egg mix and then in crushed tortilla chips. Make sure they are nicely coated with tortilla chips. Keep them on the baking rack.
Preheat oven to 420F.Drizzle the wings with 1 tbsp olive oil .Bake for good 30-40 minutes until golden and crispy.
Flip the wings and again drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Bake for another 30 minutes or so until golden crispy.
Add shredded cheese generously on top of the wings and bake for another 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with lots of salsa for dipping and sprinkle chopped tomato, jalapeno pieces, cilantro, green onion on top!
