Description
Crispy oven-baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings tossed in a buttery garlic sauce and showered with grated Parmesan, perfect for parties or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 pounds chicken wings, tips removed
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 4 to 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Pat the wings dry with paper towels and toss them with salt, pepper, and baking powder. Let them sit uncovered in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Choose your cooking method: For oven, place wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet at 425°F for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway; for air fryer, cook at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking every 8 minutes; for deep-frying, cook at 375°F for about 8 minutes.
- Melt butter and add minced garlic, cooking just until fragrant. Stir in grated Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
- Put hot wings into a large bowl, pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over them, and toss until evenly coated.
- If desired, return coated wings to the oven or air fryer for an extra 3 to 5 minutes for additional crispiness.
Notes
Pat wings dry to ensure crispiness; use baking powder for blistered skin; do not overcrowd the cooking pan.
