Ingredients for Garlic Parmesan Wings
For the Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (for a little heat)
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
How to make Garlic Parmesan Wings
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy
- cleanup and place a wire rack over it.
- Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help
them to get crispy in the oven. - In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with the baking powder, ensuring each wing is
evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Spray or brush them lightly with
vegetable oil or cooking spray. - Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are golden
brown and crispy. - Flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
- Meanwhile, prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan
over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. - Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Allow the sauce to cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens up.
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Then toss them in the Garlic Parmesan Sauce until they’re well coated.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve and Enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
- Be sure to grate your own Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can result in a grainy texture.
- The sauce should be thick enough to stick to the wings but if it’s too thick, you can thin it out with a little more cream or some milk.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, feel free to add more minced garlic. Just remember that the flavor will intensify as the sauce simmers.
- Use fresh garlic: Instead of using garlic powder or pre-minced garlic, use fresh cloves for a stronger and more flavorful garlic taste in your wings.
- Don’t overcook the wings: Overcooked wings can become dry and tough. Cook them until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still juicy on the inside.
- Add some heat: If you like a little kick to your wings, add some crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to your marinade or sprinkle it over the cooked wings.
