This easy turmeric chicken wing recipe started out because I was experimenting with gluten free game day recipes. Chicken wings are always so popular when we have friends over to watch the Warriors play so I decided to have some fun :-).
Who knew turmeric could be so easy to use in recipes? Turmeric is a healthy anti-inflammatory powerhouse. It makes these wings bright yellow. You may consider baking these on parchment paper because the yellow turmeric stained my baking sheet yellow!

I have accidentally finally found the chicken recipe that even my protein averse picky daughter will eat! These baked chicken drumettes bake up to be crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside.
Hello, crispy skin! My kids didn't even hesitate at the bright yellow color! (They must be getting used to all of the turmeric recipes I have been making lately!)
If you have been reading for a while, you know how much of a picky my daughter is. She hates protein and would totally live on cheese and carbs if I let her. I didn't expect her to eat almost all of these wings in one sitting!

Air fryer directions:
To make this recipe in your air fryer, follow all of the same directions as above, but place the wings in the basket of your air fryer. Make sure there is a little space between each chicken wing so that the air and oil can circulate all around each wing.
