These crispy garlic Parmesan wings are baked to golden perfection, tossed in a buttery garlic sauce, and finished with a generous dusting of freshly grated Parmesan. Perfect for Super Bowl parties, game day, or any time you crave a crowd-pleasing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings, split at joints, tips removed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (NOT baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried basil, oregano, and parsley)
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Add the wings and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared rack, skin side up, leaving space between each wing.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wings. Continue baking for another 15–25 minutes, until deep golden brown and crisp.
  7. While wings bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  8. When wings are done, transfer to a clean mixing bowl. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
  9. Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese and toss again until evenly coated.
  10. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Pat wings very dry for maximum crispiness. Use baking powder, not baking soda. Freshly grated Parmesan melts and coats better than pre-shredded. Let wings rest 2–3 minutes after baking before tossing with sauce to keep them crisp. For gluten-free, check your baking powder label. To re-crisp leftovers, bake at 400°F for 5–7 minutes.
