Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and Dry Chicken Wings: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Thoroughly dry the chicken wings using paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness during baking.
- Season Wings: Evenly season the dried wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, coating them well for balanced flavor.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the wings on a wire rack set over a lined baking sheet to allow heat circulation and prevent sogginess.
- Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to achieve an even, crispy, golden-brown exterior.
- Make Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While wings bake, melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Toss Wings in Sauce: Once baked, transfer the wings into a large bowl and toss thoroughly with the warm garlic Parmesan sauce to coat evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the wings with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy your irresistible garlic Parmesan crispy chicken wings!
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, make sure they are well dried before seasoning and baking.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste; you can add more garlic powder or additional Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Using a wire rack for baking helps the wings cook evenly and stay crispy by allowing air circulation around them.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces or celery sticks for a complete appetizer experience.
