Preparation

  1. Rinse and clean the chicken wings. Pat them dry with paper towels. Set them aside in a big bowl.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425 F. Add the oregano, rosemary, cumin, lemon pepper, paprika, and salt to the chicken wings. Toss well so each chicken wing is nicely coated with the spices.
  3. Place the chicken wings on a baking sheet and bake for about 25–30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese and salt together in a small bowl.
  4. In another small bowl, mix the bleu cheese (or ranch) dressing and the mustard together for dipping.
  5. When done baking, broil for about 5 minutes on each side.
  6. Transfer the chicken wings out of the oven and toss them with the garlic Parmesan mixture. Serve the chicken wings immediately with the dressing.
