Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place an oven-safe wire rack on top of the baking sheet and lightly grease the rack with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure all wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other. This helps promote even cooking and crispiness.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic cheese sauce. Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until a smooth sauce is formed. Set aside.
Once the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic cheese sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Serve the wings warm on a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your Garlic Cheese Chicken Wings!
