Description
Crispy baked chicken wings coated in a buttery garlic parmesan sauce — the ultimate appetizer or game day snack bursting with savory flavor.
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top.
2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss wings in olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
3. Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack and bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
4. While wings bake, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
5. Transfer baked wings to a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the wings and toss to coat thoroughly.
6. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan, parsley, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crispiness, broil wings for 2–3 minutes after baking.
You can air fry the wings at 375°F for 25–30 minutes instead of baking.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks for a classic pairing.
