Crispy baked chicken wings tossed in a rich, savory garlic parmesan sauce. The key is coating the hot wings immediately out of the oven for maximum flavor adhesion. This simple recipe delivers big, comforting flavor with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 6-8 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While wings bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
  6. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Do not brown.
  7. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in grated Parmesan, parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  8. Transfer hot wings from the oven directly to a large clean bowl.
  9. Pour the warm garlic parmesan sauce over the wings and toss vigorously for one full minute to coat.

Notes

For crispier skin, ensure wings are thoroughly dried before seasoning. The sauce must be tossed with the wings immediately after baking for the coating to stick properly. For a lighter version, reduce butter to 6 tablespoons or bake wings directly on a parchment-lined pan.
