Ingredients

Scale

10 lbs chicken wings, patted dry
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs (or gluten-free alternative)
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp ground black pepper
Pinch of salt
1 cup melted unsalted butter (or olive oil substitute)
Cooking spray

Optional Twists:
Add ½ tsp cayenne for heat, 1 tbsp Italian herbs for a Mediterranean kick, or lemon zest for a bright twist.

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with foil or parchment and coat with cooking spray.
Mix Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt.
Coat Wings: Dip each wing in melted butter, let excess drip off, then roll in the Parmesan mix. Arrange wings on baking sheets without touching.
Bake: Bake 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Internal temp should reach 165°F (74°C).
Finish: Drizzle with extra melted garlic butter and garnish with parsley or lemon zest. Serve with ranch, blue cheese, or spicy buffalo sauce.

Notes

For next-level crispiness, let wings rest uncovered in the fridge for an hour before baking—this simple step ensures a flawless crunch every time.
