Description

Garlic Parmesan Wings deliver a mouthwatering blend of crispy chicken wings coated in a rich garlic butter and savory Parmesan sauce. Perfect for game day, parties, or a flavorful snack, these wings offer a delightful crunch with juicy tenderness inside, complemented by fresh herbs and customizable spice options.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (party wings or flats and drums), fresh or thawed

Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1/2 cup grated real Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili flakes for extra kick

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Pat your chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is essential for achieving crispy skin. Season the wings lightly with salt and pepper, if desired.
  2. Cook the Wings: Choose your method: Deep-fry the wings in hot oil at 350°F (175°C) for about 8 to 10 minutes until golden and crisp, or bake them on a rack-lined baking sheet at 425°F (220°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, turning halfway through. Baking offers a healthier but equally crispy option.
  3. Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While wings cook, melt butter in a pan over low heat. Add freshly minced garlic and sauté just until fragrant without burning. Remove from heat, then stir in grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chopped parsley for vibrant flavor and color.
  4. Toss the Wings in Sauce: Place the cooked wings in a large bowl. Pour the warm garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings and toss thoroughly to coat every piece evenly. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Pat wings dry before cooking to maximize crispiness.
  • Cook wings in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even heat distribution.
  • Use fresh garlic instead of powdered for a more intense, fresh flavor.
  • Toss wings in sauce immediately after cooking to lock in the flavors.
  • Let wings rest a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
