GARLICKY CHICKEN WINGS
2 lbs. chicken wings (about 8-10)
3 bulbs fresh garlic, separated into cloves and peeled
1 cup plus 1 T olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tsp pepper
Preheat oven to 375. Split the wings at each joint and discard tips; rinse, then pat dry. Place the garlic, 1 cup olive oil, salt, and hot pepper sauce in a blender or food processor and puree. Pour into a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and pepper. Grease a shallow nonstick baking pan with the remaining 1 TAB olive oil. Dip the wings, one at a time, in the garlic puree, then roll them in the bread crumb mixture, coating them thoroughly. Place in baking pan in a single layer. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until brown and crisp.
