A delicious snack that’s perfect for game day or a cozy night in, these wings are easy to make and bursting with flavor. The combination of garlic and Parmesan creates a savory sauce that elevates these crispy chicken wings to a new level of deliciousness.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds chicken wings
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss until the wings are evenly coated, then let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Optionally, add red pepper flakes for heat.
Once the wings are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over them. Toss to coat thoroughly.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve. Consider adding sides like celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.
