Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and cover them with salted water.
- Allow the wings to soak for several hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Drain the salt water and return the wings to the same bowl.
-
Coat the Wings:
- In a separate bowl or large size baggie, combine flour, salt, pepper, basil, parsley, and Parmesan cheese.
- Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Coat the wings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully covered. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Hot Sauce Mixture:
- In another large bowl, mix hot sauce, Italian seasoning, basil, melted butter, and lemon juice until well combined.
-
Cook the Wings:
- Heat oil in a skillet over low to medium-low heat.
- Add the coated wings to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Drain the cooked wings on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Coat Wings in Hot Sauce:
- Transfer the cooked wings to the bowl with the hot sauce mixture.
- Gently toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the sauce.
-
Final Cooking:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the coated wings on a baking sheet and cook for approximately 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the wings to become crispy.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked, serve the hot wings alongside your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are, straight from the oven.
