These crispy garlic Parmesan wings are an easy 5-ingredient homemade snack that delivers a perfect crunch and savory flavor without deep frying. Ideal for game nights, potlucks, or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings (flats and drumettes mixed), fresh or thawed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano recommended)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed 9×13 inch baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  3. Season the wings generously with salt and pepper and toss in a large bowl to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they don’t touch.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is deep golden brown and crisp. Rotate the pan if needed for even browning.
  6. While wings bake, prepare the garlic Parmesan sauce by melting the butter in a medium bowl. Stir in minced garlic, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of black pepper.
  7. Once wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl and immediately pour the garlic Parmesan mixture over. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat each wing.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use a wire rack to allow air circulation and avoid soggy bottoms. Flip wings halfway through baking for even browning. Toss wings in garlic Parmesan sauce immediately after baking to keep skin crispy. For dairy-free version, substitute butter with melted coconut oil and Parmesan with nutritional yeast. Avoid adding sauce before baking to prevent sogginess.
