Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoons anchovy paste (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they get crispy. Place them in a large bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the wings, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the wings.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the Caesar sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and anchovy paste (if using). Stir in the Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Place the wings in a large bowl and pour the Caesar sauce over them. Toss until the wings are thoroughly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
