Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken Wings:
Begin by pouring the flour into a shallow bowl. Coat each chicken wing with flour, ensuring that they are evenly dusted. Shake off any excess flour and place the wings on a tray to set aside. -
Prepare the Breading Station:
In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Stir to mix them together. In another bowl, crack and beat the two eggs until smooth. -
Coat the Chicken Wings:
Take each floured chicken wing and dip it into the beaten eggs, pressing gently to make sure the egg adheres well. This step helps the breading stick and ensures a crispy finish once cooked. -
Prepare the Potatoes:
Peel the potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on your preference for size. Place the potato pieces in a large bowl, and drizzle them with a generous amount of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, then toss the potatoes to coat them evenly. -
Combine the Chicken and Potatoes:
In the same bowl with the bread crumbs, add the seasoned potato pieces and toss them gently to coat them with the remaining breading mix. -
Arrange for Baking:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take a large baking tray and arrange the breaded chicken wings and the seasoned potato pieces in a single layer. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top of the potatoes and chicken. -
Bake to Perfection:
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After this time, turn on the grill function for the last 10 minutes to crisp up the breading on the chicken wings and give the potatoes a nice golden color. -
Garnish and Serve:
Once cooked, remove the tray from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of color and flavor. Serve the crispy chicken wings and flavorful potatoes while they’re still hot.
Tips for Success:
- Coating the Chicken: Ensure that the chicken wings are well-coated with the flour before dipping them in the egg. This extra step helps to lock in the crispy coating, preventing it from falling off during cooking.
- Perfectly Crispy Potatoes: Make sure to toss the potatoes in oil and salt thoroughly to achieve that perfect crisp on the outside while keeping them soft and tender on the inside.
- Adjusting Seasonings: Feel free to add other seasonings like garlic powder or dried herbs to customize the flavor of both the chicken wings and the potatoes according to your taste preferences.
