Garlic Parmesan Wings! For someone who refuses to eat bone-in chicken, wings are about the only exception to the rule. And how can it not be when they’re golden, crispy, hot, and loaded with garlic parmesan flavor straight out of the oven instead of the deep fryer. Speaking of chicken wings! Am I the only one that despises breaded chicken wings? And I’m not big of fry wings either. Don’t get me wrong; this girl loves a good crispy chicken tender. But when it comes to wings, I’m and oven-baked wings girlie. I want them tossed in sauce, and no breading should get in the way of that crunchy golden skin! These are big on flavor and perfect for football watching! Because some of us, I won’t name names are only at game day for the appetizers!
Ingredients for Garlic Parmesan Wings Recipe
Chicken wings: Sometimes you end up with chicken wings that haven’t been cut for you. I like to remove the wing tips first and save them for a pot of homemade chicken stock. I then take the leftover ‘v’ and slice it down the center joint to create the drumstick and the wing.Baking powder: You’ll want to use aluminum-free baking powder for this recipe. The baking powder is the special ingredient that will help give these wings that super crispy texture. More on this below.Seasonings: You’ll need kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and some paprika. The paprika isn’t really going to add to the flavor, but rather is used to give the wings a bit more color!Parsley: I love adding a bit of fresh parsley to my garlic butter because it brighten both the flavor and the color!Fresh Garlic cloves: We’ll grate the garlic and create garlic butter to toss the wings in.Butter: melted butter, garlic, and parsley and zapped together in the microwave and we’ll toss the wings in this right when they’re hot out of the oven.Parmesan: grated parmesan cheese works best for this recipe, we’ll sprinkle this on top of the wings right before serving.

Air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF, when hot add a single layer of wings (making sure to not overcrowd the basket. It’s better to do this in batches than all at once!) Bake for 16-22 minutes depending on their size, flipping the wings around the halfway mark. I usually let them go slightly longer with the skin side up for more color!
