Ingredients
Scale
Dry Rub
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Heat the oven to 400F (200C) and arrange a rack in the middle of the oven to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Prepare the Spice Mix: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and baking powder (if using). This dry rub will flavor the wings and help achieve crispiness.
- Coat the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a baking dish and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over them. Toss to coat well. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the wings and toss again to distribute the oil evenly.
- Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45 minutes until they are cooked through and crispy.
- Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings bake, melt the butter in a small pot over low heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped parsley, stirring until the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Coat Wings with Sauce and Parmesan: Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the wings, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top, and return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to brown the cheese and crisp up the wings.
- Serve: Remove the wings from the oven and serve hot for maximum flavor and crispiness.
Notes
- TO STORE: Transfer leftover wings into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- TO FREEZE: Place leftovers in a shallow container and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- TO REHEAT: Reheat chicken wings in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving as it will make wings soggy.
- Baking powder is optional but recommended for extra crispy skin.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances flavor and texture better than pre-grated cheese.
