Cheesy Baked Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 2 POUNDS CHICKEN WING SEGMENTS
• KOSHER SALT
• 4 TABLESPOONS UNSALTED BUTTER, MELTED, COOLED SLIGHTLY
• 1/2 CUP FINE DRIED BREAD CRUMBS
• 1/2 CUP FRESHLY GRATED GRANA PADANO
• 1 TEASPOON DRIED OREGANO, PREFERABLY SICILIAN OREGANO ON THE BRANCH
• 1/2 TEASPOON GARLIC POWDER
• MARINARA, WARMED, FOR DIPPING (recipe linked)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

2. Put the wings in a large bowl, and season them with 1 teaspoon salt. Drizzle them with the melted butter, and toss to coat them evenly.

3. In another large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Grana Padano, oregano, garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add half of the wings, andtoss to coat them well in the crumbs. Arrange them on the baking sheet, making sure the wings don’t touch. Repeat with the remaining wings. If there are any crumbs left in the bowl, sprinkle them on top of the wings. Roast until the wings are crispy, golden, and tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with warm marinara for dipping.
