Cathy's Chicken Wings

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Rinse chicken wings under cold water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Drying the wings is essential for achieving a crispy coating.

Combine bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt or lemon pepper, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl, stirring to distribute seasonings evenly.

Pour melted butter into a separate shallow bowl. Working in batches, dip each wing into the melted butter to coat lightly on all sides.

Roll each buttered wing in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres. Place coated wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the chicken is cooked through.

Remove from oven and let cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Serve hot.
