I recently had my daughters friends over and made these Crumbed Chicken Wings. The kids loved them.
I am a big fan of chicken wings as they are delicious. By cooking them this way you get soft moist chicken meat, covered with a crisp breadcrumb on the outside.
It is great for parties as you can prepare them up to a day in advance, then cook when needed.
The herbs I would add for an adult party, most kids I find prefer it without the herbs. You could also add some grated lemon rind to the breadcrumbs also for extra flavour.
I say to discard tips, but don't throw them away, freeze them and make a chicken stock with them when you have accumulated enough of them.
I add oil to my baking tray so the wings kind of fry in the oven as well as bake. If you just spray with cooking spray, they will bake but they don't get that schnitzel crumb finish. You decide what you prefer.
This is easy, cheap and who doesn't love crumbed chicken.

Recipe
Makes approximately 40 pieces
75g freshly grated parmesan cheese
200g panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives (optional)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (optional)
2kg chicken wings, cut into 2 pieces at the joint, discard tips
Plain flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vegeta
1/4 cup milk
Vegetable oil, for baking
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan forced.
Line two large baking trays with baking paper.
Season the wings with salt and pepper.
Combine cheese, breadcrumbs and herbs (if using) in a shallow dish.
Place about 1 cup of flour in a large bowl.
Place the eggs in a large bowl with the vegeta and milk and whisk well to combine.
Now I like to put the flour bowl to my left, the eggs bowl in the centre and the breadcrumbs to the right.
Toss the chicken in the flour; shake away excess flour. Dip it into the egg mixture. Toss into the crumb mixture; press the crumbs on firmly. Repeat until all is done.
Drizzle some oil onto the baking paper, you want just enough oil to cover most of the surface of the baking paper, this way the wings kind of fry in the oven.
Place the wingettes on one baking tray side by side, but not touching, and the drumettes on the other tray side by side, but not touching.
Spray the wings lightly with some cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over using tongs. And put the baking tray that was on the top shelf of the oven on the bottom now, for even cooking. Bake a further 30 minutes.
Serve hot as finger food at parties, or with a green salad for lunch and dinner.
