My wife, daughters and I often enjoy these buttery wings while watching TV on Saturday nights. The crisp coating of french-fried potato chips is also great on the chicken tenders I make from cut-up boneless chicken breasts. -Jonathan Hershey, Akron, Ohio

Ingredients

12 whole chicken wings (about 2-1/2 pounds)
2-1/2 cups crushed potato chips
1 can (2.8 ounces) french-fried onions, crushed
1/2 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
2 large eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

Line a 15x10x1-in. baking pan with foil and grease the foil; set aside. Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip section.
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the potato chips, onions, cornmeal and seasonings. In a shallow bowl, beat eggs. Dip chicken wings in eggs. Add shrimp to bag, a few at a time. Seal bag and shake to coat; press crumb mixture into chicken.
Place wings in prepared pan; drizzle with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and coating is crisp.

Editor's Note

Uncooked chicken wing sections (wingettes) may be substituted for whole chicken wings.
This recipe was prepared with the first and second sections of the chicken wings.

I made these with Chicken Breast instead of wings. My 13 yr old is particular and really liked it. I thought it was good, but not amazing.

Excellent! I made these for a party recently and they were a huge hit. They are nice and crispy - you would never know they were baked!
