Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine all-purpose flour, ranch seasoning mix, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well combined.

Step 4

In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 6

Dredge each chicken wing in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the buttermilk and egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, roll it in the panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

Step 7

Place the coated wings on the prepared wire rack, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 8

Spray the wings lightly with nonstick cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wings over and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy on the outside and fully cooked inside (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Step 10

Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
