Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of it. This will help the wings cook evenly and become crispier.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. This mixture will help season the wings and create a crispy exterior.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other for best results.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Turn them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
While the wings are baking, prepare the dairy-free 'parmesan' sauce. In a small pan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the pan. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large bowl.
Pour the garlic 'parmesan' sauce over the wings and toss them well to ensure each wing is well coated.
Garnish the wings with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while they're hot and crispy.
