Best Garlic Parmesan Wings
Description
The recipe starts by patting dry chicken wings thoroughly to remove moisture, then evenly coating them with cornstarch, which promotes a crisp skin during baking. A mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, finely grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes is prepared and tossed with the wings for a robust seasoning coating.
Wings are arranged in a single layer on parchment paper or a baking rack to ensure even cooking and crispiness. Baking at 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes, turning halfway, cooks them through and browns the exterior. A brief broiling step crisps the wings further and adds color to the crust without burning.
The final result is wings with a golden, garlicky, cheesy crust that pairs well with dipping sauces or as a main appetizer for gatherings, bringing together a satisfying combination of flavors and textures.
