Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Chicken Wings: Use fresh or thawed wings, split into flats and drumettes for even cooking.
  • Butter and Garlic: The base of the sauce, butter adds richness while garlic provides that bold flavor.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Grated parmesan adds salty, nutty, and cheesy notes to the sauce.
  • Paprika: Optional, but adds a hint of smokiness and a pop of color.
  • Parsley: Optional garnish for a fresh, vibrant touch.

Instructions

Prepare the Wings:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top for even cooking.
  2. Season the Wings: Pat the wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. Bake the Wings: Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.

Optional Cooking Methods:

  • Air Fryer: Cook wings in an air fryer at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Frying: Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 375°F and fry wings for 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

  1. Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add the Parmesan: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until fully combined. If desired, add lemon juice for a hint of brightness.

Toss and Serve:

  1. Coat the Wings: Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until they’re evenly coated.
  2. Garnish and Serve: Arrange the wings on a platter, sprinkle with additional parmesan and chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
