Chicken Wings Parmesan

Back to the 4th of July picnic type foods: these chicken wings have been a family favorite for many years. I can remember helping my Grandma Pienta make these for parties. They were always a very popular party food. For the 4th of July, or any picnic, these are good even whent they aren't hot out of the oven. I love these little wings when we have leftovers and I find them in the middle of the night in the refrigerator. They are good hot or cold!

This is a good recipe if you are wanting kids to help in the kitchen. The easy ingredients and preparation make it good for kids in the kitchen. We made these for dinner last night. A nice salad and some homefries round out the wings as a meal. ENJOY!

3. Roll chicken wings through butter and then dredge in through the dry ingredients. Place on foil lined pan in single layer. Bake for 90 minutes in the 300 degree oven or until crisp and fully cooked. You can test one wing to ensure proper cooking throughout. Remove from oven, cook slightly and serve.
