Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1.5 cups breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
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. Spray the rack lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps ensure maximum crispiness.
Set up your breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Working one wing at a time, dredge each piece in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press the crumbs gently onto the chicken to ensure an even coating.
Place the breaded wings onto the prepared wire rack, ensuring that they are evenly spaced to allow for proper airflow and even cooking.
Spray the tops of the wings lightly with non-stick cooking spray. This step helps to achieve a crispy, golden coating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp up evenly on both sides. The wings are done when they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, blue cheese, or spicy buffalo sauce.
