Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preparation: Start by washing the chicken wings thoroughly and patting them dry with paper towels. This ensures that they are clean and ready for seasoning. |
| 2 | Prepare Coating Mixture: In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and a generous amount of freshly chopped basil and parsley. Mix well to blend all the flavors together. |
| 3 | Season Wings: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken wings, ensuring that each wing is coated with the flavorful blend. |
| 4 | Melt Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and margarine together until fully combined. This will serve as the deliciously rich base for our chicken wings. |
| 5 | Coat Wings: Dip each seasoned chicken wing into the melted butter mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. |
| 6 | Apply Crumb Coating: After dipping in the butter mixture, roll each chicken wing in the crumb coating mixture until evenly coated. This will create a crispy, flavorful crust when baked. |
| 7 | Arrange Wings: Place the coated chicken wings in a lightly oiled ovenproof baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching each other. |
| 8 | Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the chicken wings for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The aroma of garlic and Parmesan will fill your kitchen as they bake to perfection. |
| 9 | Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken wings from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, then serve hot and enjoy the irresistible flavor explosion with friends and family. |
