Deliciously seasoned chicken wings are marinated in my homemade Italian dressing, breaded, then baked or grilled, delivering a tasty crunch with every bite. You can’t have just one!Cooking times vary depending if baking or grilling.
3poundschicken wings - I use the whole wing or you can use party wings
2cupsbreadcrumbs
Italian Marinade:
- ½ cup neutral oil - vegetable or safflower
- ¼ olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
Measure all ingredients for the marinade in a 2 cups measuring cup or a bowl. Whisk to combine.
Place the wings in a large zip top bag or large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss them to combine and let marinate for 4 hours up to overnight. I marinated for only an hour when in a pinch and they were still delicious. Just make sure to flip the bag over every once in a while or toss them a bit if using a bowl.
Pour 1 ½ cups of breadcrumbs in a bowl. Using tongs to make it less messy, place a wing in the bowl and press down a bit to make the breadcrumbs stick. Repeat with other side making sure the wing is coated. Repeat. Use the remaining ½ cup if needed.
To Bake:
Preheat oven 425°.
Place wings upside down (underside showing) on a parchment lined baking sheet spacing evenly apart.
Bake for 25 minutes then flip them over.
Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes until golden and crisp.
To Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium.
Grill wings for about 20 minutes, flipping 2 to 3 times, until golden and crisp. You should be able to pull apart the wing easily with little resistance. If using party wings, the time will be less.
