Parmesan Chicken

A few weeks ago we traveled to Older Son's college for a football game. We wanted to have a tailgate picnic but had been told we could not use a grill in the parking lot. We adults have been on a low-carb diet for a few months so I went searching for recipes. This was a big hit, hot or cold!

The original recipe calls for wings. I used legs due to the cost. How long have wings cost twice as much as legs??

** It's imperative that you put foil on the pan - and grease the foil! Even when reheating. Trust me.


Make a dry mixture from:
1/2-1 cup powder-style parmesan cheese (such as Kraft - or put the grated style in the blender)
2 t. paprika
1 T each of dried parsley, oregano, and basil
1 t garlic powder
salt and pepper

Dip raw wings (or legs) in melted butter then coat with dry mixture.

Bake on FOIL LINED cookie sheet for 45 minutes to an hour at 350.

This recipe is enough for 10 chicken legs, so I guess about 20 wings. I had to make another batch and had only the grated parmesan to use the second time. The powder coated much better. It's crispy and delicious. It's also very yummy cold. If you're worried about using butter you could use olive oil or just a milk dip first I guess.
