Ingredients

2 lb chicken wings
2 tbsp garlic, minced
1/2 tsp red chili flakes
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
Salt to taste
5 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2: Pat the chicken wings dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle this seasoning evenly over the chicken wings.
Step 4: Bake the wings for 20–25 minutes on one side, then flip and bake for another 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: While the wings bake, prepare the garlic parmesan sauce. Melt the butter in a bowl and let it cool slightly. Stir in the parmesan cheese, red chili flakes, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.
Step 6: When wings are cooked, transfer them to the bowl with the garlic parmesan sauce. Toss well to coat each wing thoroughly.
Step 7: Serve the garlic parmesan chicken wings immediately while warm. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking—just keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Swap fresh parsley with chopped basil or cilantro for a different fresh herb flavor.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the garlic parmesan sauce for a bright, tangy touch.

Storage

Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to help them regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it may make the wings soggy.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?

Yes, but make sure to thaw them completely and pat dry before baking to ensure they crisp up properly.

Is it possible to make these wings without butter?

Yes, you can substitute butter with olive oil or a non-dairy alternative if you prefer, which will slightly change the flavor but still keep the wings tasty.
