Ingredients
To make your garlic Parmesan wings a reality, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Chicken Wings: 2 pounds (fresh or frozen, thawed for the recipe)
- Baking Powder: 1 tablespoon (helps achieve that crispy texture)
- Salt: 1 teaspoon (to season the wings)
- Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon (for a slight kick)
- Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon (adds depth to the garlic flavor)
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons (provides richness and helps with crisping)
- Parmesan Cheese: ½ cup grated (freshly grated is best for maximum flavor)
- Fresh Garlic: 4 cloves, minced (brings an aromatic punch)
- Chopped Parsley: 2 tablespoons (for garnish and freshness)
Instructions
Rinse your chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. The dryer the wings, the crispier they’ll be during cooking!
In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated. The baking powder is crucial here; it creates a nicely crispy texture when baked.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack, ensuring they are not touching. This promotes even cooking and crisping.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the chicken wings in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Flip them halfway through to ensure they crisp evenly.
While the wings bake, combine olive oil, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Set this aside; the aroma is going to be divine!
Once the wings are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Pour the garlic-Parmesan mixture onto the hot wings while they are still warm, tossing them to ensure every wing gets coated.
Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and serve immediately for the best flavor. Enjoy their crispy texture and savory aroma!
