Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings (Print)

Golden chicken wings coated in savory garlic Parmesan sauce, perfect for easy entertaining and satisfying bites.

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken

01 - 1.2 kg chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp kosher salt
04 - 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder
06 - 0.5 tsp smoked paprika

→ Garlic Parmesan Sauce

07 - 60 g unsalted butter
08 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
09 - 60 g grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
10 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
11 - 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and place a wire rack securely on top.
02 - Thoroughly pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wings with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, tossing until each wing is evenly coated.
03 - Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake for 40–45 minutes, ensuring to turn the wings halfway through the cooking process, until they are golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
04 - While the chicken wings are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for approximately 1 minute until fragrant. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and red pepper flakes.
05 - Once the chicken wings are fully cooked, transfer the hot wings to a clean, large bowl. Pour the prepared garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings and toss gently to ensure they are coated evenly.
06 - Transfer the sauced wings to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve immediately for optimal enjoyment.
