I personally wouldn't go for the onion powder, because to me it would be too many flavors going on, but its all personal choice.

well, I made it last night and here are my impressions:

yes I think the onion powder was not a good idea because it did taste like too many flavors going on.

there was no heat to it at all so I wouldn't even call it mild wings I would consider this a version for those who don't want pepper and for the average guy that's wants "some" heat to add pepper to it like it doesn't already have any pepper.

for me, I tasted mostly the lime as the strongest flavor and the onion just didn't seam to belong with the other flavor combinations so I think next time i'll cut the lime juice in half and skip the lime zest completely and then add some cayenne to it. now that I think about it I had used the lime juice in the bottle so maybe it was a concentrated version?

I was scared it might come out too peppery hot using something called "fiery 5 peppers" but there is no pepper heat at all in that stuff, it must be yanky idea of pepper lol.

on cooking time, I did 20 minutes @ 400 then flipped them and did another 20 minutes and they came out cooked just right but it wasn't crispy.

I had them laying flat on the tray and when I went to flip them I had to baste them with veggie oil because some of the breading was still powdery dry. maybe it wasn't crispy because I basted it with a light coating of oil to wet the other side?.

everyone still loved them and they were a hit at the booray game (finger lickin good ), but they still didn't let me win any money

I think I might try frying them next time and see how that comes out since im not worrying much about eating healthy
