Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over it. This will help the wings cook evenly and become crispy.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is important to ensure they crisp up nicely in the oven.
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic parmesan coating. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
After the first 20 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven and flip them. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and place them in a large clean bowl. Pour the garlic parmesan mixture over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired, and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the wings.
