Crispy baked chicken wings coated in a savory garlic butter and parmesan cheese sauce, delivering a flavorful and fuss-free snack perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning after baking
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 g), freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat your 2 pounds of chicken wings dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt to the wings. Toss thoroughly until evenly coated. Let wings rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange wings on the rack in a single layer, spaced out.
  4. Bake wings for 25 minutes. Flip each wing using tongs and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  5. While wings bake, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup grated Parmesan, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  7. Transfer wings to a large bowl and toss immediately with the garlic parmesan butter sauce until evenly coated.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly before coating with baking powder to ensure crispiness. Use baking powder, not baking soda, to avoid metallic taste. If wings are not crispy enough after baking, broil for 2-3 minutes watching carefully. Toss wings in sauce while hot to ensure even coating. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil and parmesan with nutritional yeast.
