Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 3 cloves minced garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the wings evenly.
Place the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the ghee. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and nutritional yeast, creating a 'parmesan' topping.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven. Using a brush or a large spoon, coat the wings with the garlic 'parmesan' mixture.
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy your Whole30 Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings!
