These crispy herb-crusted chicken wings are baked to perfection, offering a delightful crunch and a burst of flavor in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Using a wire rack ensures even air circulation, making the wings crispy all around.
If not already done, separate the chicken wings at the joint and discard the tips or save them for stock.
Cutting the wings into sections makes them easier to handle and cook evenly.
In a large bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, melted butter, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Ensure the butter is melted but not too hot to avoid curdling the mustard.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the mustard mixture.
Tossing the wings thoroughly ensures each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and basil.
Mix the breading ingredients well to distribute the herbs and cheese evenly.
Press each coated wing into the breading mixture, ensuring it is fully covered, and place it on the prepared wire rack.
Pressing the wings firmly into the breading helps it adhere better during baking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Turning the wings ensures they cook evenly and develop a uniform crispiness.
Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Serving the wings immediately ensures they retain their crispiness.
