I make these spicy appetizers for parties and football games and never have any leftovers. The hot wings contrast nicely with the cool but zippy dip. When the wings run out, we use the extra cilantro dip on tortilla chips. —Barbara McConaughey, Houlton, Wisconsin

Ingredients

12 whole chicken wings (about 2-1/2 pounds)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 teaspoons pepper
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
JALAPENO-CILANTRO DIP:
2-1/2 cups sour cream
3 cups fresh cilantro leaves
6 green onions, cut into 3-inch pieces
4 jalapeno peppers, seeded
3 teaspoons salt

Directions

Cut chicken wings into 3 sections; discard wing tip section. In a large bowl or shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne. Add the chicken wings, a few at a time. Turn to coat.

Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-27 minutes on each side or until juices run clear and coating is set.
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the dip ingredients; cover and process until blended. Refrigerate until serving. Serve with wings.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Whole Chicken Wings

Uncooked chicken wing sections (wingettes) may be substituted for whole chicken wings.
