Crunchy Devilish Wings (Baked)

Deantini's Note:

This is from one of my favorite cooking shows 'Best Recipes Ever'

• Total Time: 55 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 3 lbs chicken wings
• 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated (fresh is best)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano or 1 1/2 teaspoons basil

Directions:

1. Remove tips from chicken wings and reserve for stock if desired; separate wings at joint, if not already seperated.
2. In large bowl, mix together mustard, butter, salt and cayenne pepper. Add wings, tossing to coat.
3. In shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and oregano. Press wings into crumb mixture to coat all over; arrange on rack on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
4. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.).
5. Roast in 400°F (200°C) oven, turning once, until crisp and juices run clear when wings are pierced, about 45 minutes. The wings are more crunchy if you bake them on a rack and let air flow all around instead of directly on the baking sheet.

A keeper deceleration from my husband. Not as crispy as I was expecting and will try them with Panko crumbs next time. Made for New Kids on the Block Tag game. :)

Hubby and I had different opinions about the wings...I just loved them...they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside...plus they were easy to prepare and tasty to boot...I did half grated and half shredded Parmesan cheese...talk about easy...anyway...I asked hubby why four stars...he said...I hate chicken...well...I heard...he loved them...any guy who hates chicken and rates a chicken dish 4 stars...he's a keeper...oops...I mean the recipe is a keeper...off it goes into my best of 2013 cookbook...:)

We liked the seasoning on this dish. I left out the salt and used Italian seasoning. I also didn't have luck with it getting crispy and I used a rack for the chicken. It was still good though! Made for Zaar 1-2-3 Hits Tag Game 2012.
