Garlic Parmesan Wings
These creamy and crispy garlic parmesan wings are a game day favorite, offering an irresistible combo of flavors that are sure to please a crowd.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings separated into drumettes and wingettes (remove the tips)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 2 cloves garlic minced finely
- 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (more for garnishing)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (extra for garnishing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a big bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss them until well-coated.
- Spread the seasoned wings out on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between them. Bake for 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic parmesan sauce by mixing the melted butter, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese in a bowl until everything is blended nicely. Set this mixture aside.
- After 35 minutes, take the wings out of the oven and transfer them into a large bowl. Drizzle the prepared garlic parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until they are well-coated.
- Return the wings back to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to infuse into the chicken and ensuring it’s fully cooked.
- Once done, sprinkle the wings with extra grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy these deliciously crispy wings with your favorite dipping sauce!
