In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, Parmesan, oregano, thyme, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the wings in the mixture and shake off any excess.
Pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat to 350°F. Fry the wings for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until golden brown. You may need to turn frequently near the end for even browning. Drain the wings on a rack set over a platter.
Serve the wings with warm marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
