By BobD

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon dried onion
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 pounds chicken wingettes and drumettes (see Note)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons red hot sauce, preferably Frank's Red Hot
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon jerk paste
• Fresh thyme leaves, for sprinkling

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500°. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with vegetable oil. In a bowl, mix the flour with the salt, garlic, onion and thyme. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Spread the chicken on the baking sheet in a single layer and spray with vegetable oil. Roast the chicken for 45 minutes, turning once or twice, until browned and crispy.

In a bowl, whisk the hot sauce with the butter and jerk paste until combined. Add the chicken wings to the sauce and toss. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and serve.
