• 1 unit bay leaf
• 80 ml balsamic vinegar (1/3 cup)
• 5 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper (feshly grounded if possible)
• 2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to your taste)
• 4 tbsp olive oil more or less

Prepare the garlic and parmesan coating

• In a food processor (or mortar), add the garlic and a pinch of salt. Smash into a smooth paste.
• In a large mixing bowl, put the garlic paste, the freshly grated black pepper, the red pepper flakes and the olive oil and mix well. The texture should be nor too thick nor too thin. You want to make sure that the coating will stick nicely to the wings.
• Add the dry (important !) chicken wings into the bowl and mix well.
• Add the breadcrumbs and mix again until all the chicken wings are coated.
• Add 1/3 of the parmesan cheese and mix well. Repeat twice until you use almost all the parmesan (keep about 2 tbsp for later).

• Put a foil paper on a baking sheet and grease it.
• Put all the chicken wings on the tray on a single layer and sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese.
