Parmesan Chicken Wings

A great make-ahead, these wings freeze well and are great to serve not only at football games but any time that you need a handy snack or appetizer. Way better than anything that you can buy in the store.


Combine the Parmesan cheese bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Set up the assembly line. Chicken, then melted butter, then crumb mixture. Prepare your pan. I like to cover the baking sheet in foil and then lay a sheet of parchment down for easy clean up. 
Parchment paper is great, I love it. Nothing sticks to it. You do not need to spray or coat the pan with anything.


Dip the wings in the butter, then into the crumb mixture press the crumbs onto the chicken, then place the chicken onto the parchment lined  pan


Dip


Coat


Dip, coat, repeat. Continue until all the wings are coated 


Bake at 350 degrees, for 30-40 minutes until the wings are golden brown. 


Delish!
These wings freeze very well. I like to make a bunch to freeze. Bake them from frozen for 15 minutes or until they are heated though. 
They are great to have for football games, for Christmas, New Years or when ever you need a quick snack.


Parmesan Chicken Wings
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

3-4 pounds Chicken wings
3/4 cup melted butter

Combine the first six ingredients into a large shallow bowl. Melt butter into a shallow dish. Set up your work surface so that you will have the chicken, then the butter, then the crumb/cheese mixture. Dip the wings, one at a time, into the butter, then into the crumbs, then onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake the wings at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until browned.
