Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings

Stumble Upon more often than not leads me to several hours of distraction, but I recently found that you can use it to stumble only food sites, and find recipes. On Monday night, I had no idea what to cook. I wanted to do braised short ribs, but that shit is expensive, and it takes 3 hours at least so I will save that for a rainy weekend. Stumbling led me to a recipe for baked chicken wings with parmesan and garlic, which looked fucking delicious. I used it as a base for what Jack and I eventually did. It is a pretty simple, and easy recipe, so I used it to teach Jack a little bit about cooking, since its high time he learned. Just a bit of instruction about seasoning, how to mince garlic, and how to cook chicken. Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

18 chicken wings
cumin
oregano
rosemary
chili flake, salt and pepper
garlic (minced)
olive oil
parmesan cheese

Ignore the butter, I misread the recipe, and it wasn't included.


Take the chicken wings, and put them all out on a pan. Season with the dry spices (cumin, oregano, rosemary, salt, pepper and chili flakes). Toss the wings to coat evenly.

Throw the pan in a 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is done. I turned them about halfway through. While this is cooking mix about 3 tablespoons of the oil, with around a quarter cup of parmesan cheese, some more of the chili flakes (Some like it hot, including me), the minced garlic (I used about 3 largeish cloves) and more salt and pepper. Here is Jack mincing the garlic (learning to chop) and the finished sauce. I think I added some more cheese after this point. You want it to be more pasty, like a slurry, than runny.


When the wings are finished, pull them out of the oven. While they are still hot, toss the sauce over them and stir it up. The hot wings will melt the cheese, and coat themselves with the sauce. It will smell delicious. It will look delicious (like below). You will want to lick the pan after you plate the wings.


I served the wings with some white rice, but forgot to cook it in time to photograph. The sauce from the wings got all over the rice, and made it delicious. Pasta would also be good. Make this recipe for the super bowl. You will not be disappointed.
Nom. Serious nom.
