These were some of the best wings I've made, a few notes to myself for next time since there WILL be a next time: bake @ 375 for 45 mins, flipping halfway. Broil a couple minutes at the end. Used smoked paprika. Used almost the full amount of cayenne, nice and fiery but might cut it back a smidgen for me although no one complained in this house! Didn't marinate at all, still turned out fantastic. Thank you for posting this!!

After seeing Bergy's photo I knew I had to try these wings. I too made a smaller batch, but I wish I had made more! These were very good and I didn't marinate them overnight. Great punch of flavor from the spices. The heat level was very spicy, but could be cut back if you are not a spicy food fan. Thanks for sharing your recipe!!

This is a winner! Made these for my husband's Mardis Gras-themed birthday party and they were a hit. I used a little less cayenne pepper and replaced the garlic powder with fresh garlic (crushed and blended to a paste).<br/><br/>Looking forward to making these again and experimenting a little with the recipe.
