Spicy Baked Chicken Wings

Now a days there are a host of Chicken joints mushrooming up in the city. It’s popular with kids who seem to like the crispy taste and the juicy chicken. However, there is a catch, these fried chicken contain MSG which I don't like much. So, it becomes a mission for mothers like me to replicate the same magic at home with  Chicken dishes which are not only healthy but also pleasing to eat. This is my small attempt to convey that all is not lost we can still have alternate meals and propagate till the Big Chain of restaurants are compelled to change their way of cooking. It’s a win win situation for all and so I hope that you would try this one out and make it as a regular feature in dinner or lunch.
