Heroin Wings

Ingredients:

4 pounds chicken wings
1 cup grated Parmesan (the inexpensive kind in the canister works best)
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoon oregano
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. Do not omit this step or you will have a very messy cleanup afterward.

Cut wings into drumettes. (Save the pointy tips to make broth later.)

In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan with parsley, oregano, paprika, salt and pepper. Melt butter in another shallow pan or bowl.

Dip each wing in butter, then in seasoned Parmesan and arrange on the foil-lined pan. Bake for 1 hour. Then kick yourself for not making a double batch.

Once you've tried these addictive wings, you'll understand the name, Dana Carpender says.

Makes about 50 appetizers.

Hey There

I made this recipe sorta altered over the weekend. Used boneless chicken breast, dipped in butter, rolled in parmsean cheese, garlic salt and pepper. Baked in the oven at 350 for 1 hour.

The verdict by the men in my family, which are 3 strong and big eaters...

This is a keeper.

Thanks MOG for the suggestion.

I'm convinced it will be good on fish too. Maybe I'll feel better about eating it.

Yep, pamesean is a wonder breading!

I do the same with chicken strips except I fry them like fried chicken and I add a few more spices to mine. John loves them and never misses the flour. We usually do a big batch of those chicken fingers when we go on a road trip, they make great finger food, right out of the cooler!

Last nite I did porkrind breaded pork chops fried, I ran out of pork rinds so on the last chop I used parmesean, it was delicious on pork too!

[sassyone]

Parmesean cheese as breading is great! I add sesame seeds to it too, and sometimes I use a mixture of parmesean and almond meal. My husband likes it better than flour!

[MotherOfGizmo]

That sounds yummy Donna. I love sesame seeds!

Re: Heroin Wings

I made these with a package of chicken drumsticks... I upped the ingredients to account for a huge package of drumsticks. Will let you know how it turns out!

Re: Heroin Wings

Ok these are definitely GOOD!!!!! I ate 2 drumsticks with a nice big salad w/blue chz dressing. I was pleasantly full. they were very very rich but a bit too salty.. I think next timei will just lightly spinkle the chz topping on instead of dipping the legs in the coating...

Re: Heroin Wings

I make these ALL the time now as they are a HUGE hit for my 10 year old daughter and my husband! LOVE them! FABULOUS! One of our fave Atkins recipes ever!

Re: Heroin Wings

You can get Hooter's sauce at the grocery....zero carbs. Maybe toss with the sauce after baking???

Re: Heroin Wings

I don't think tossing these would work that well - maybe a dipping sauce would be OK. I l like to make hot wings - no breading and then toss the wings in Frank's Hot Sauce or Frank's Buffalo wing sauce. (I love Frank's buffalo wing sauce)
Here is the recipe I use
