Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 5 cloves Fresh garlic
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Low sodium garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Low sodium Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness, then place them in a large bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves finely or grate them using a microplane.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the olive oil, unsalted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, low sodium garlic powder, ground black pepper, onion powder, and granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
Pour the garlic butter mixture over the chicken wings in the bowl. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Once baked, remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle them with the finely grated low sodium Parmesan cheese while they are still hot. Toss gently to coat the wings in cheese.
Garnish the wings with fresh chopped parsley and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes for added heat.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
