Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb chicken wings
  • 2 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • to taste salt
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Equipment

  • Grater
  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. This is the optimal temperature to ensure crispy wings. While the oven is heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup easy and prevent sticking.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry using a kitchen towel. Removing excess moisture is key to achieving that crispy texture we all love. Place the wings on the prepared parchment paper, making sure they are spread out evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. This will be your seasoning rub. Mix well until fully combined.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the wings. Use your hands to ensure that each wing is well coated with the rub. This step is crucial for maximizing flavor!
  5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the wings for 20 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you want them to be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic sauce. In a medium bowl, melt the butter. Once melted and slightly cooled, add in the parmesan cheese, red chili flakes, garlic, and parsley. Mix until everything is well combined; this will be the sauce that coats your wings.
  7. After 20 to 25 minutes, take the wings out of the oven. They should look beautifully golden and crispy. Transfer the wings to the bowl with the garlic sauce.
  8. Toss the wings in the sauce until they are thoroughly coated. Be gentle to ensure the wings stay crispy while absorbing the delicious flavors of the sauce.
  9. Transfer the wings to a serving plate. It's best to serve them while they are still warm, as that’s when they taste the best. You can garnish with additional parsley for a pop of color if desired.
  10. Enjoy your Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own!

Notes

If you happen to have leftovers, store the wings in the fridge to enjoy later. Reheat in the oven to maintain their crispy texture.
