Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pat wings off with a towel and place in a large bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the oil, lemon juice, oregano, rosemary, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir with a fork until mixed. Pour over the wings.
  3. Mix until completely coated, then place in a 9x13" dish (cover with plastic wrap) or large zipper baggie and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to overnight.
  4. In a large sturdy skillet or deep-fryer, heat the oil to 350°F and preheat the oven to 425°F.
  5. Working in batches, gently drop the chicken wings into the hot oil. One at a time, fry until golden and crispy, about 8 minutes. Use metal tongs to remove the wings and place them on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wings.
  6. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan pan, add the butter, hot sauce, chicken stock, onion powder, garlic powders, salt and pepper. Stir in the fresh garlic. Simmer gently for about 15 minutes and slightly reduced.
  8. Remove the chicken wings from the oven and place them in a large heatproof bowl.
  9. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until coated. Add the Parmesan and toss again until well coated. Serve at once with blue cheese dressing on the side.

  • Oven - Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Deep-fry - Fry in 350°F oil for 11 minutes until golden and cooked through. 
  • Air-Fryer - Spray with cooking spray before seasoning. Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes. Open the basket, flip the wings, and air fry for another 8 minutes.
