Friend of Julie: Parmesan Chicken Wings

Parmesan Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 4 lbs. uncooked chicken wings (frozen or unfrozen)
• 5-8 cloves garlic minced (cut back if you don’t like a lot of garlic)
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese of choice
• cumin
• salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon dry basil
• 1 teaspoon dry oregano

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400-425
2. Cut tips off wings and separate the 2 sections and add the wings on a cookie sheet or similar and sprinkle with salt, pepper and cumin. 
3. Bake about 35 minutes or until wings are cooked to your preference.
4. While the wings are baking, add the butter and melt in a small saucepan. 
5. Add the minced garlic and cook on low for about 5 min stirring frequently. 
6. Just before the wings are ready, add 1/4 cup of Parmesan and cook about 2-3 min.

When the wings are done:

1. Remove from cookie sheet and put them in a large bowl. 
2. Add the butter, garlic, Parmesan mixture to the wings and mix well. 
3. Make sure you get the mixture on all of them. 
4. Put the wings back onto the cookie sheet and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. 
5. Broil for about 5 minutes about 3-4 inches from the broiler element. 
6. Keep an eye on them so the cheese doesn’t burn. 
7. Remove from oven and transfer to a plate.
