Ingredients

3 cups dried bread crumbs

cup olive oil

2 ounces chopped garlic

cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 ounces parsley chopped

Salt to taste

Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

10 pounds chicken wings

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, olive oil, chopped garlic; Parmesan, chopped parsley, salt and pepper. Mix until bread crumbs are wet.

With a sharp paring knife separate chicken wing at the knuckle. Use the tips for chicken stock. Again with paring knife, score a circle around one end of the wing loosening chicken from the bone. With your fingers pull chicken down to one end, creating what look like a lollipops; repeat until all are finished.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dredge chicken wings in the Parmesan bread crumbs. Mix until the "lollipops" are completely covered. The chicken wings should stand up straight with bread crumb side on sheet pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
