Ingredients
Scale
-
For the Wings:
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra crispiness)
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce:
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Wings:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and baking powder (if using).
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Toss the wings in the olive oil and the spice mixture until well coated.
-
Bake the Wings:
- Place the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Bake for 35-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.
-
Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
-
Coat the Wings:
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
-
Serve:
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley or parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, make sure to pat the wings dry before seasoning and optionally use baking powder.
- You can also fry the wings if you prefer a different texture, but baking them is a healthier option.
- For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes to the garlic parmesan sauce.
