Follow this recipe to make exceptionally crispy chicken wings using a baking powder method, coated in a rich garlic parmesan sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of each sheet.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is critical for crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the dried wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire racks, ensuring no pieces touch.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings, then bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the skin is deeply golden brown and very crisp.
  6. While the wings finish cooking, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  7. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  8. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese and olive oil until the sauce is smooth.
  9. Place the hot, crispy wings into a large bowl. Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the wings.
  10. Toss gently until all wings are evenly coated.
  11. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, allow the seasoned wings to rest uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before baking.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese; pre-grated cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent smooth melting.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add 1 tablespoon of hot water to the sauce mixture after removing it from the heat.
