Parmesan Garlic Wings

Delicious Parmesan Garlic Wings.....This is what we do on our vacation from work. We make incredibly unhealthy but delicious food.

To start you'll need fresh Parmesan,garlic, basil, oregano, lemon, olive oil, butter, flour, cumin, salt, pepper, and of course - chicken wings.  If you don't currently use fresh parmesan when cooking, I suggest you start.  It is so tasty and makes all the difference.

Start by making a light batter.  Mix some flour with a little bit of cumin, salt, and pepper.  Just enough to taste. Also, add a little ground cayenne if you like some spice.

Next, prepare the ingredients for the sauce.  Finely chop some oregano and some basil.  Zest a lemon.  Grate the Parmesan.

I don't have measurements for any of this.  Put as much of each ingredient as you like, it just depends on your taste.  However, since these are parmesan garlic wings, you'll want lots of parmesan...

And lots of garlic...

Next, melt some butter in a bowl.  Add the parmesan, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.  Mix it all up!  Add a little olive oil to thin it out a bit too.

Now that the sauce is ready, it is time to bread the chicken.  Wash and dry the chicken.  Since my wife prefers a thin breading, I just dip the chicken directly in the flour mixture.  If you prefer a thicker crunch batter, dip the chicken in a milk/egg wash prior to putting in the flour.

Repeat with all wings until they are all coated. While doing this, start heating some canola oil on the stove.

Next, cook the wings!  Once the oil really starts to bubble, its hot enough to add the wings.

Cook the wings in more than one batch if necessary. You don't want to crowd the wings in the pan.

Remove the wings from grease and dry on a paper towel.  Cut one open to make sure it is cooked thoroughly.

Then dip the wings in the sauce and move to a plate to dry.

Repeat with all wings.

Serve with potato skins and a beer!
