Chicken Drummettes Tweetcipe

Want a quick chicken recipe that everyone in the family will like and, if there’s any left over, makes a great afternoon or midnight snack?  When I don’t feel much like cooking I do one of two things –strongly suggest to my husband that he should take us out for dinner, or bake these chicken drummettes. You know what I’m talking about: some people call them buffalo wings. The trimmed chicken wings are white meat, for those who are counting calories, and inexpensive. You should be able to find them in the store with the tips already removed. I add a quick salad to complete the meal.

Chicken Drummettes

Chicken wings, tips removed (plan on 6-8 per person)
Your favorite dry rub or a combination of 3-4 dried herbs/spices (use your imagination)
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Grapeseed oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Cover the bottom and sides of a baking sheet pan with foil.

Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and drizzle grapeseed oil over them. Toss them until they are evenly coated in oil.  Lightly sprinkle coarse salt over the chicken.  Add pepper and spices. Toss drummettes again until they are evenly coated.

Spread the drummettes on the baking sheet in one layer. Cook for 20 minutes or until the chicken is nicely browned, turning the drummettes half way through.
