Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This is key for crispiness!
In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon juice (if using).
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a clean bowl.
Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the hot wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Garlic Parmesan Wings!
Notes
For extra crispy wings, ensure they are very dry before baking.
You can adjust the amount of garlic to your preference.
If you don’t have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used as a substitute.
Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little heat.
