Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings (drummettes and flats)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (freshly grated works best)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven and Prepare the Wings:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then place them in a large bowl. -
Season the Wings:
Drizzle the olive oil over the wings and toss them to coat evenly. Sprinkle the wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss again to ensure the wings are evenly seasoned. -
Bake the Wings:
Spread the wings out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy. -
Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic). Remove from heat. -
Toss the Wings in the Sauce:
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted garlic butter over the wings and toss to coat evenly. -
Add the Parmesan and Garnish:
Sprinkle the wings with freshly grated parmesan cheese and toss again to ensure the cheese sticks to the wings. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired, for a little heat.
-
Serve:
Serve the garlic parmesan wings hot with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing, and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can cook the wings on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet to allow air circulation underneath.
- You can adjust the amount of garlic depending on your preference. If you want more of a garlicky kick, add an extra clove or two.
- These wings also work well on the grill if you prefer a smoky flavor.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter sauce.
