Crispy Golden Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings: A Savory Oven-Baked Delight

Tasty Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings – Homemade Crispy Oven Recipe

Introduction

There’s no better way to elevate any gathering than by serving a platter of irresistibly crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings. This homemade oven recipe delivers golden-brown wings that strike the perfect balance between garlicky richness and cheesy decadence—without the excess oil of deep frying.

Whether you’re prepping for a game day, a family dinner, or simply a savory snack, these wings are a sure-fire crowd-pleaser that’s packed with flavor, texture, and wow-factor while remaining easy and approachable for home cooks.

What Makes These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings Special?

The secret lies in the combination of a well-seasoned, ultra-crisp exterior with a buttery garlic-Parmesan finish. Roasted in the oven rather than fried, these wings are simpler, less messy, and a little lighter, but still deliver that coveted crunch. The final toss in fresh Parmesan and herbs transforms every bite into a savory masterpiece.

The Key to Crispy, Flavor-Packed Wings

To achieve restaurant-level crispiness, drying your chicken wings thoroughly is essential. Tossing them in a light dusting of baking powder (not baking soda) and seasoning before roasting helps the skin become irresistibly crackly. Lining your pan with the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking, so those glorious skins stay intact.

Finish the roasted wings in a large bowl with melted butter, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, using a quality Lifewit Silverware Drawer Organizer to keep your prep tools organized and ready.

Tips for Effortless Wing Preparation

– **Even Cuts**: Use sharp KitchenAid All Purpose Kitchen Shears with Protective Sheath to easily separate wingettes and drumettes, saving time and effort.
– **Flavor Boost**: Grate your own cheese and mince fresh garlic for more robust flavor. The Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper can make quick work of mincing garlic or prepping fresh herbs.
– **Uniform Baking**: Spread wings in a single layer to ensure maximum crispness—crowding leads to steaming, not roasting.

Serving and Storing Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

Serve immediately while piping hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and freshly chopped parsley. For easy transport or meal prep, store leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers—just reheat in the oven or air fryer to revive their crispness. Pair with a crisp side salad or cooling ranch dip for a complete appetizer spread.
