A quick and easy recipe for crispy garlic parmesan chicken wings, perfect for game day snacks with a flavorful, crunchy coating and savory garlic parmesan sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes; fresh or thawed from frozen
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced fresh
  • ½ cup (50 g) finely grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano preferred)
  • ¼ cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and position a rack in the middle.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
  3. Toss wings in a large bowl with all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs until evenly coated.
  4. Place wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t touching.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  6. While wings bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  7. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese and olive oil.
  9. Transfer baked wings to a clean bowl and toss gently with the garlic parmesan sauce using tongs.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or crunchy celery sticks.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Toss wings gently in sauce to avoid breaking the crispy coating. For extra crispiness, broil wings for 2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain air circulation. Leftovers can be reheated on a wire rack in a 375°F oven for 8-10 minutes to restore crispness. Substitute almond flour for gluten-free and nutritional yeast with vegan butter for dairy-free versions.
