Parmesan (Garlic) Chicken Wings

PRE-STORY: Wegman's is my happy place and often it is the source of inspiration. Tonight, I was wandering around the meat department and they had ready to cook parmesan garlic chicken breasts. Well, I remembered some parmesan wings I made for a get-together I had in Dec so I decided to add some garlic to the mix.

Dip chicken pieces into butter, then place in paper bag and shake to coat. Place chicken on foil-lined baking sheet and bke for 45 minutes. Serve hot.

5 - Make this for your friends!!! Great recipe for a party...I know, I've made them for a party!

Easy Peasy

SERVED WITH:
Wegman’s Butternut Squash, Baby Spinach, and Craisens mix and Wegman's Mac and Cheese. (Have I ever mentioned I love Wegman's?!?!)

FINAL NOTES:
Another very versatile recipe. Play with the seasonings. Put the mix on chicken breasts, pork tenderloin, coat sliced potatoes, etc. It's also easy to double, triple, quadruple for a party. AND other then the cooking, it takes no time to prepare. If you are having a long open house, have a couple batches prepped and a batch cooking while others are being served.
