Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the rack with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Breading Mixture: In a large bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Make the Garlic Butter: In a separate bowl, combine melted butter and minced garlic. Stir until the garlic is fully incorporated.
Coat the Chicken Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the garlic butter. Toss until all wings are evenly coated.
Bread the Wings: One at a time, remove the wings from the garlic butter and place them in the breadcrumb mixture. Roll them around until fully coated, pressing lightly to ensure the breading sticks.
Arrange on the Rack: Place the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring the wings don’t touch each other for even crisping.
Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through for even browning.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the wings from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy them as is or pair with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

For Extra Crispiness: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels before coating them. This helps the breading stick better and ensures a crunchier texture.
Storage Tips: Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 375°F to restore their crispiness.
Air Fryer Option: If you prefer, these wings can be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Customize the Flavor: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, or use fresh herbs for an even brighter flavor.
