Preheat the oven to 450°F. Position a rack in the center.
Pat the chicken pieces with paper towels. Patting the chicken pieces dry will help the chicken have crispy breading when baked.
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.
Piece by piece, dip the chicken pieces into the melted butter mix. Then dredge into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture to coat.
Place coated chicken pieces on to a 9- x13-inch (or larger) roasting pan. Try to leave a little room between each piece for air circulation. Drizzle with any remaining garlic butter.
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. Let cool slightly before serving.
