Crunchy Oven Baked Drumettes

The family will never know these weren't deep fried!  Delicious and enjoyed by the whole family!  Got this gem from Todays Parent Magazine November 2008

2 1/2 lb (1.25 kg) chicken wing drumettes, trimmed
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
Barbecue sauce, ketchup, yogurt, hot sauce or whatever for dipping

Preheat the oven to 425F.

Toss drummettes with vegetable oil in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, paprika, salt, pepper and onion powder.  Add to drumettes in a bowl and toss until evenly coated.  The flour coating should be like a sticky damp batter roughly coating the chicken.

Place an oiled rack over a foil lined cookie sheet or large shallow baking pan.  Arrange drumettes on the rack, leaving some room between them so that they brown properly.  Place in the preheated oven and bake, turning once halfway through, for 45 to 50 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.  Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce and plenty of napkins.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
