  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Wings and Coating

  • 18-24 chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2-3 cloves fresh garlic, minced or crushed
  • 2 tablespoons flat parsley, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
  • ⅓ cup shaker parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and set aside.
  2. Dry Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, pressing and blotting any excess moisture from the skin for enhanced crispiness.
  3. Coat Wings: In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss the wings in this mixture in two batches, shaking off any excess coating.
  4. Arrange Wings: Place the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch for even cooking.
  5. Bake Wings: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  6. Broil for Crispness: Set oven to broil and broil the wings 2-3 minutes per side to achieve a golden, crispy finish. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Rest Wings: Remove from oven and let the wings rest for 5 minutes; carryover cooking will bring them to the safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  8. Prepare Garlic Parmesan Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic, chopped parsley, and kosher salt. Stir until melted and fragrant, then remove from heat.
  9. Finish Sauce: Let the butter mixture cool for 3-4 minutes before stirring in the parmesan cheese until well combined.
  10. Toss or Drizzle Wings: Toss the baked wings in the garlic parmesan sauce in a large bowl or drizzle the sauce over the wings on a serving platter.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm. Optionally, return to comments to share your experience.

Notes

  • Patting the wings dry is essential for crispy skin.
  • Broiling time may vary by oven; watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional for a mild heat; omit if sensitive to spice.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the sauce.
  • Letting the wings rest after baking ensures juicy, safe-to-eat wings.
