What You will Need:
Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Wings
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Season the Wings
In a large bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss until they’re evenly coated.
Bake the Wings
Place the seasoned wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked through and the skin is crispy. Allow the wings to cook until they achieve that crispy, golden exterior in the oven. This step ensures the wings are cooked through and the skin is delightfully crisp.
Making the Sauce
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the parsley and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Make sure to sauté the garlic and parsley in butter and allow their flavors to meld and infuse into the wings. This will create a depth of taste in every bite. Remove from the pan from the heat once this is achieved.
Coat the Wings
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the wings and toss again until well coated. Ensure the wings are evenly coated with the garlic butter before generously sprinkling the parmesan cheese. This step ensures every morsel is packed with flavor.
Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!
