 Chicken Wings

 Thanks to years of constantly watching Food Network and a year and a half working in a fast food chicken restaurant, I was able to completely wing this recipe. (Oh puns.) 

•  ~2 ¼ lbs chicken wings 
•  ½ lemon, juiced* 
•  ~2 c (soy) milk* 
•  ~1 c (whole wheat) flour 
•  1 T paprika 
•  ½ T chili powder 
•  1 t salt 
•  1 t pepper 
•  oil 
•  ~1 ½ c desired sauce 

 *You can use buttermilk instead of these two, but this was all I had on hand so I made my own buttermilk-type substance.In a bowl or large Ziplock bag, mix the lemon and milk, then add the chicken. Give everything a thorough dunk. Let this sit in your fridge for a few hours, making sure to massage or move everything around occasionally to insure even marinating.When it comes time to cook them (which will be about a half hour before it’s time to eat), preheat the oven to 400F. 

 In another bowl mix the dry ingredients. Then dredge each wing in the flour mixture before placing it on a greased baking sheet. Once all the wings are floured, bake for 25-30 minutes, until the wings are cooked through and the skin is crispy.Once the wings come out of the oven pour your sauce (which for me was a tangy BBQ sauce to which I added lots of hot sauce) into a bowl, dunk each wing, and serve. 

 While these wings were not as crispy as the wings we always served at Zaxby’s  (yes, that is were I worked in high school), they were much healthier and equally delicious
