What you'll need

- Small ramekins — Individual portions for dips, baked eggs, and small bites.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings with avocado oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the wings thoroughly to ensure even coating, then spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is golden and crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted at the joint reads 165°F.
- While the wings roast, warm the melted butter and minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat for 1–2 minutes to mellow the garlic, then whisk in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
- Remove the wings from the oven and immediately toss them in the garlic-parmesan butter until fully coated.
- Serve warm to maintain the buttery texture of the garlic glaze.
