Garlic Parmesan Wings Recipe

Ingredients

Spice Mix and Wings

• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

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

1. Preheat the oven to 400F (200C) and place a rack in the middle position.
2. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and optional baking powder until evenly blended.
3. Place the chicken wings in a baking dish, sprinkle the spice mix evenly over them and toss to coat well. Drizzle the olive oil on top and toss again to coat the wings thoroughly.
4. Place the wings in the oven and bake for 45 minutes until the skin is crispy and cooked through.
5. While the wings bake, melt the butter in a small pot over low heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped parsley, stirring until fragrant. Remove from heat once aromatic.
6. When the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and pour the garlic butter sauce over them. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top evenly.
7. Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and wings are golden brown and crispy.

Notes

• TO STORE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• TO FREEZE: Freeze wings in a shallow airtight container for up to 6 months.
• TO REHEAT: Reheat wings in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it will make wings soggy.
