Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings


Every football season, this is a very popular dish in our household.  Hubby would specifically request this where he can comfortably sit on the couch, munch on these while watching his favorite team (Da Bears!) playing on tv.   While sitting on the couch watching the Olympic games, I thought "why not make the wings?" It will be a perfect finger food for this event!  We extremely enjoy this dish since the day we discovered of making them from scratch.  During our dwelling in Texas, we loved going to a "wing place" in a small town called Waxahachie.  Ever since we moved, we eagerly tried to recreate that super yummy finger food dish (trials and errors) all along...and voila!...our chicken wings was born!  Serve as an appetizer or an entree', it's your choice.  And the best part of it, it's oven-baked...oh, the joys of convenience and scrumptiousness without worrying our waistline.  The only rule before digging into these wings is to wash your hands!  Enjoy!


Ingredients:

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 pounds chicken wingettes and drumettes
1/2 unsalted butter, melted (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
squeeze of half a lemon

Preheat oven to 500 degrees.  Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with oil cooking spray.  In a bowl mix flour, salt, garlic powder and onion powder.  Add chicken and toss to coat.  Spread chicken on the baking sheet in a single layer and spray with oil cooking spray.  Roast chicken for 45 minutes, turning once or twice until browned and crispy.

In a bowl, toss chicken with the melted butter (if using), then toss with parmesan cheese and squeeze lemon, mix altogether.  Serve immediately!
