Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken wings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp seasoning salt
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Chicken Wing Stuffing
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp crumbled bacon
- 1 tsp Italian season
- 1 tsp butter
- 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp dry rosemary
- 1 tsp celery flakes
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Clean the chicken, using a paper towel to pat dry the skin of the chicken to remove excess juice and moisture. Then loosen the skin around the drumette areas using your finger to separate the skin from the meat of the chicken wing.
- In a large bowl, toss in all the ingredients needed for the stuffing: bacon, breadcrumbs, butter, herbs and spices, minced garlic, and sour cream. Mix until well combined. If the dressing is too thick, add a few tablespoons of chicken broth to loosen up the stuffing to desired consistency.
- Stuff the chicken wings on the drumette end with the stuffing, but don't overstuff or rip the chicken wing skin.
- Drizzle the chicken wings with olive oil (or use a silicone basting brush).
- Season the chicken with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1 tsp poultry seasoning.
- Place the stuffed chicken wings on a cooling or baking rack over a tin foil-lined baking sheet. Make sure to spray the cooling rack and baking sheet generously with nonstick spray.
- Bake the chicken for 25 minutes, or until done to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Serve and enjoy!
