Step By Step Instructions To Make Stuffed Chicken Wings

Step 1

Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Remove excess juice and moisture from the chicken by patting the skin dry with a paper towel. You can then separate the chicken wing’s skin from its meat by using your finger to loosen the skin around the drumette areas.

Step 3

Combine the bacon, breadcrumbs, butter, herbs, spices, garlic, and sour cream in a large bowl to make the stuffing. Ensure that all ingredients are well combined. You can loosen the stuffing by adding a few tablespoons of chicken broth if the dressing is too thick.

Step 4

Make sure the skin of the chicken wings is not ripped or overstuffed with stuffing. Stuff the chicken wings on the drumette end with stuffing.

Step 5

The chicken wings should be drizzled with olive oil (or brush with a silicone basting brush).

Step 6

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, 1 tsp poultry seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp onion powder to the chicken.

Step 7

Put the stuffed chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with tin foil, then place a cooling rack on top. Don’t forget to spray nonstick spray generously on the cooling rack and baking sheet.

Step 8

165 degrees is the internal temperature of the chicken after 25 minutes of baking.

Step 9

Take a bite and enjoy!

Deboning chicken wings can be a bit tricky, but with practice, it becomes easier. Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the bones from the wings, being careful not to tear the meat.
