Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 40 minutes
• Total Time: 55 minutes
• Servings: 4-6
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips removed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Dipping sauces of choice (ranch, blue cheese, etc.)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t touching. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
4. While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic Parmesan coating. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.
5. Transfer the baked wings to a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
6. Sprinkle the wings generously with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Toss again until the wings are well-coated with cheese and parsley.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces on the side.

Helpful Tips

• For extra crispy wings, place them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes after baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
• If you prefer a less intense garlic flavor, reduce the number of garlic cloves to two or use garlic powder instead.
• Mixing some panko breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese can add extra crunch to the wings.
• These wings can also be cooked in an air fryer for a quicker, equally crispy result. Adjust cooking time as needed.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover Garlic Parmesan Wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and crispy.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Butter: Use ghee or a dairy-free butter substitute if necessary.
• Parmesan Cheese: Replace with Pecorino Romano or a dairy-free Parmesan alternative.

Pairings

These Garlic Parmesan Wings pair wonderfully with a crisp garden salad, buttery corn on the cob, or a side of sweet potato fries. For drinks, consider serving with a chilled beverage like sparkling water with a splash of citrus, or a frosty glass of iced tea.
