Makes about 20 wings
Preparation time: 45 minutes
Cooking time: 20-25 minutes
With the growing popularity of wings-only take out restaurants, you can save time (but not money) by buying your wings ready made and tossing out the packaging before the guests arrive. But making them yourself is more fun. This recipe gives them a Southwest twist

- 1 ¼ cups crushed tortilla chips about a half a bag
- 1 package taco seasoning

- Cut the chicken wings into three pieces, reserving the tips for another use or discarding them.
