Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings Recipe
Introduction
Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings are a crave-worthy crowd-pleaser known for their ultra-crispy skin and the irresistible combination of zesty garlic and nutty Parmesan cheese. Perfect for game day, parties, or an easy dinner, these wings are guaranteed to fly off the platter—no frying required!
Why This Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings Recipe Works
What sets these wings apart is the synergy of flavors: aromatic garlic, rich butter, and savory Parmesan coat the wings in a sauce that’s bold without being overwhelming. Baking or air frying ensures a crunchy exterior while keeping the interior juicy—all with minimal mess. The final result rivals your favorite sports bar, right from your kitchen.
Effortless Prep for Maximum Flavor
Start by prepping your wings evenly for perfect cooking. For swift and uniform garlic mincing, use a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper, making your flavor base in seconds. Toss the wings in a simple seasoning blend to build flavor before they meet the heat.
If you’re aiming for maximum crunch and less oil, an air fryer like the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 delivers restaurant-quality results every time, using hot air to crisp the wings without deep-frying. For oven baking, lining your tray with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll means no sticky cleanup.
Finishing With Garlic Parmesan Goodness
Once your wings are golden and crisp, it’s time for the star moment: tossing them in a generous garlic-Parmesan butter. For evenly melted butter, a nonstick pan like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet helps the garlic gently infuse into the sauce without burning. Don’t skimp on the freshly grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of parsley for color and zing.
Serving Suggestions and Tips
Serve your wings hot, topped with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs. They pair perfectly with crisp celery sticks or a classic green salad—handy for packing in a Bentgo Salad Container if you’re on the go. For parties, keep things tidy with a Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken Wings:
Pat wings completely dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. For even seasoning coverage, use a Bamboo Cutting Board Set to organize your prep and avoid cross-contamination. - Choose Your Cooking Method:
- Air Fryer: Preheat your COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1 to 400°F. Arrange wings in a single layer (work in batches if needed) on the cooking tray. Air fry for 22–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll and lightly oil it. Arrange wings skin-side up, spacing them out. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping once, until crisp and browned.
- Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
Near the end of cooking, melt butter in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant (do not let it brown). Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese. - Toss and Finish:
Transfer cooked wings to a clean bowl. Pour the hot garlic Parmesan butter over and toss thoroughly to coat. - Serve:
Plate wings, topping with more Parmesan, parsley, and optional red pepper flakes. Serve immediately for peak crispiness.
