Make crunchy, low-carb chicken wings coated in parmesan cheese using a simple baking method for a satisfying keto appetizer or meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
  2. Pat the chicken wings very dry using paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Place the dried wings in a large bowl. Drizzle with the oil and toss to coat lightly.
  5. Add the cheese mixture to the wings. Toss until every piece is evenly coated with the dry mixture.
  6. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack, ensuring they do not touch.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over.
  8. Continue baking for another 15 to 25 minutes, or until the wings are deeply golden brown and very crispy. Cooking time depends on your oven and desired crispness.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use a wire rack set over the baking sheet so air circulates around the bottom of the wings.
  • If you prefer an air fryer, cook at 380°F (195°C) for 18-22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Use finely grated, dry Parmesan for the best coating adhesion.
