Make truly crispy chicken wings in your oven without frying. This easy recipe uses a simple technique for perfect texture, coated in a savory garlic parmesan sauce. These are ideal for game day parties or any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the dry chicken wings with the baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Do not let them touch.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings over.
  6. Continue baking for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and very crispy.
  7. While the wings finish baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  8. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter mixture, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
  9. Remove the crispy baked chicken wings from the oven and immediately transfer them to the bowl with the sauce. Toss gently until every wing is coated.
  10. Serve the garlic parmesan wings immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can toss the wings with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder along with the baking powder before baking.
  • If you want a spicier wing, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the dry seasoning mix.
  • To achieve the crispiest skin, ensure the wings are completely dry before seasoning.
  • Serve these party appetizer wings with celery sticks and blue cheese dip.
