Preheat the oven to 450°F. Position a rack in the center.
Pat the chicken pieces dry:
Pat the chicken pieces with paper towels. Patting the chicken pieces dry will help the chicken have crispy breading when baked.
Prepare the butter and breadcrumbs:
In a small bowl, stir the minced garlic into the melted butter. In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
Dredge the chicken pieces:
Piece by piece, dip the chicken pieces into the melted butter mix. Then dredge into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture to coat.
Bake, then serve:
Bake uncovered at 450°F for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165°F. Note that the chicken will get much more browned on the bottom side than on the top, especially if you’re using a non-stick pan.

Let cool slightly before serving.
