Chicken Wings
- 2 lbs fresh or thawed chicken wings, skin on
Seasonings & Coating
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- Prepare the Wings: Pat your chicken wings dry with paper towels. This removes excess moisture and helps them achieve extra crispy skin during cooking.
- Season and Coat: In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to ensure a well-rounded flavor base before baking.
- Bake Until Crispy: Arrange the wings in a single layer on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
- Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings bake, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in minced garlic and cook gently until fragrant, being careful not to brown it. Remove from heat and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Toss Wings in Sauce: Once wings are golden and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings and toss well to coat each piece thoroughly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is!
Notes
- Dry wings thoroughly before seasoning for optimal crispiness.
- Use a wire rack during baking to allow air circulation around the wings.
- Cook garlic gently in butter to release flavor without burning.
- Grate Parmesan cheese fresh for better melting and crisping.
- Serve wings hot and fresh to maintain the crisp coating.
