Parmesan Crusted Chicken Wings
Earlier this week, we were invited over for dinner with beloved friends. At one time, one spouse from all three couples, worked with each at Winnipeg Harvest (in fact Lee was the founder of the amazing organization). So once again in my life, food (and the sharing of it), drew me to loved ones. I had been thinking about this particular appetizer recipe for as long as my count down of sleeps for Isla Mujeres, because Parmesan crusted fish is served a couple of places on the island.

My favourite version is offered up at The Fisherman’s Co-op, right on the water and across from the little hotel where we typically stay.
In the end, D made this batch up and so they tasted even better than usual to me, as I didn’t prepare them. I have posted this recipe today, in case you want to make them for an Oscar watching evening on Sunday. In our house on Superbowl Day, D plants himself in his football watching chair and I fix little treats for he and his quests. On Academy Awards night, the tradition is reversed and he does the same for me.
Me on Isla (ha, ha, this is J2, my legs aren’t long enough to touch the sand).
This is really me on Isla (with Daughter #1)
Alas, this Oscar night I wouldn’t be with D as I will be spending my first night on Isla…
- ½ c homemade breadcrumbs (I make my own in big batches and keep them in the freezer)
- ½ c Parmesan cheese (buy from the deli/cheese section, not the shaker variety)
- 1 T garlic powder (less if you have to kiss someone (anyone!) when Bradley Cooper is on screen)
- ½ c melted butter
- 1 lb. chicken drumettes
- Mix crumbs, cheese and garlic in a shallow bowl and set aside.
- Dip drumettes into the butter.
- Press drumettes into the breading, coating all sides.
- Place on a lined baking sheet (important to have lined as these are very messy).
- Baked at 400 for 25 minutes turning once.
