Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings (split into drumettes and flats)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Olive oil spray (for greasing)
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.
