Refrigerate while preparing drumettes. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In shallow dish, combine flour and taco seasoning mix; mix well. Add oil; stir with fork until well-combined. Coat drumettes with flour mixture. Coat drumettes again to use all flour mixture. Place on sprayed cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn drumettes; bake an additional 14 to 17 minutes, or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear. Sprinkle parsley on salad dressing mixture. Serve with warm drumettes. Makes 24 servings. Times tasting note: At the Pillsbury Bake-Off in Orlando, contestant Pat Murphy suffered near catastrophe when the lid of his blender popped off and Ranch dressing and chopped chilies went flying. He recovered and won $10,000 for these delicious and ridiculously easy wings. We love them. The recipe ran March 6.
