Crispy Baked Parmesan Chicken Wings
Description
Crispy Baked Parmesan Chicken Wings start with chicken wings seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Baking at 425°F on parchment paper allows the wings to crisp up without extra oil or frying. After baking for about 40 to 45 minutes until golden, a mixture of grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and seasoning is tossed with the hot wings to coat them thoroughly. This combination adds a sharp, herby, and mildly spicy flavor layered over the crispy skin.
The final dish offers a contrast between the crunchy exterior and tender chicken inside. The Parmesan and herb topping elevates traditional wings with a savory, cheesy twist that complements the subtle heat from the pepper flakes. Serving the wings immediately keeps the Parmesan mixture fresh and prevents sogginess.
For preparation, if wings are not pre-cut into wingettes and drumettes, the tips should be removed and discarded. For extra crispiness, if the wings aren't fully crispy after baking, briefly broiling for a few minutes while watching closely can help achieve the right texture.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Parmesan mixture
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes chili
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, this will save you from scrubbing the baking pan until tomorrow.
- Season the wings generously with salt, pepper and the ½ tsp of garlic powder. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until they're golden crisp.
- While wings are baking, mix all the Parmesan mixture ingredients together in a small bowl.
- When the wings are done baking, transfer them to a bowl right away. Dump the Parmesan mixture over the wings and toss well, making sure each wing is fully covered with the Parmesan mixture. Serve right away.
Notes
- If your wings are whole, remove wing tips and cut at the joint to separate into wingettes and drumettes before cooking.
- Using parchment paper simplifies cleanup by preventing wings from sticking to the pan.
- If after baking 45 minutes the wings aren't crispy enough, broil for 3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
