Ingredients for Easy Garlic Parmesan Wings

Having fresh, high-quality ingredients makes a big difference in how good your Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings will taste. This is what you’ll need to have on hand:

• 2 pounds of chicken wings, cut into flats and drumettes (if you like, you can ask your butcher to do this for you)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter that hasn’t been salted and is melted
• 6 cloves of garlic, minced (freshly minced garlic really brings out the flavor)
• 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (if you can, use the real stuff instead of the canned sort that is already grated)
• 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley (for garnish and freshness)
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• Optional: A little bit of red pepper flakes can give it a little kick.

How to Make Crispy Parmesan Garlic Wings (Step-by-Step)

To make the greatest Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings, just follow these simple steps. We stripped it down to make it as easy as possible, so you can always get a tasty result.

1. Preheat & Prep for Crispy Wings

   First, turn your oven on to 400°F (200°C). This first high heat is quite important for getting that nice crispiness. If you want to make cleaning up easier afterward, line a big baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Parchment paper is a great way to keep things from sticking.

2. Dry & Season for Flavorful Wings

   This is perhaps the most important stage for making wings crispy. Use paper towels to dry each chicken wing completely. Get rid of as much water as you can. In a big bowl, combine the dried wings with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are all evenly covered. A good layer of oil and spices is what makes food taste good.

3. Arrange for Optimal Baking

   Put the seasoned wings in a single layer on the baking sheet you prepared. It is also crucial that the wings are not too packed. If they are too close together, they will steam instead of roast, which is not what you want. Use two baking sheets if you need to.

4. Bake to Golden Perfection

   Put in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Flip the wings over about halfway through the baking time to make sure they brown and crisp evenly on all sides. You can turn the oven to the broiler setting for the last 2–3 minutes to make the food even crispier. But you need to keep a close eye on them at this point so they don’t burn.

5. Make Your Homemade Garlic Parmesan Wings Sauce

   It’s time to make the garlic parmesan sauce, which is the best part of the meal, while the wings are baking. On medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Add the minced garlic and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the smell is strong. Don’t let the garlic burn, because that will make the sauce taste bad. The best way to do this is slowly and steadily.

6. Mix the Sauce Ingredients

   Take the pot off the heat when the garlic smells good. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, dried oregano, and a teaspoon of red pepper flakes if you choose. Whisk everything together until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy and well-mixed. If the sauce looks too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water or chicken stock to get the right consistency. So, it’s important to be a little flexible.

7. Coat the Wings in Sauce

   When the wings are done baking and are a nice golden brown, move them from the baking sheet to a big, clean mixing basin. Over the wings, pour the heated garlic parmesan sauce. Gently toss the wings so every piece is covered in the tasty sauce. A good toss makes sure that the flavor is evenly spread out.

8. Serve Your Garlic Parmesan Wings

   Serve your Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings right away, when they are still hot and crispy. Add a bit more grated Parmesan cheese and some fresh parsley on top for a splash of color and freshness. These wings are so tasty that they don’t need a dipping sauce very often, but they go great with a standard ranch or blue cheese dressing.

How to Have the Best Garlic Parmesan Wings Experience

To make the greatest Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings, you need to know a few important things in addition to following the instructions. Here are some more tips:

• Preparation of the wings is very important. As already said, it is very important to dry the wings completely. This lets the skin get rid of its fat and get nice and crispy in the oven.
• Don’t Skip the Broil (Be Careful!): The last broil can make a big difference if you want that extra-crispy texture. Just keep an eye on them since they may go from wonderfully crisp to charred in a matter of seconds.
• Fresh Garlic is the Best: You can use garlic powder in a hurry, but freshly minced garlic will give your sauce a much stronger and more real flavor.
• The quality of the Parmesan is important: Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese, such Parmigiano-Reggiano, will melt more easily and add a deeper, nuttier flavor than pre-shredded cheeses, which typically have anti-caking agents in them.
• Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is overly thick after you add the cheese, you can thin it up with a little water or broth. On the other hand, you might need a little more Parmesan if it’s too thin.
