Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50g), freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake the wings for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- While wings bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
- Transfer the hot wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
Notes
Pat wings dry thoroughly for crispiness. Use a wire rack for even cooking and crisp skin. Toss wings gently in sauce to avoid sogginess. Reheat wings on a wire rack at 375°F for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil and Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
