These delicious garlic parmesan wings are baked in a hot oven with a tasty cheesy crust. Their skin is wonderfully crispy, and they are perfectly juicy inside!

Garlic parmesan wings are served with a dipping sauce.

Chicken wings are delightful. They have the perfect ratio of meat to skin! I love buffalo wings and teriyaki wings, but lately, I can't get enough of these garlic parmesan wings. They're a bit different than most recipes. Instead of baking and then dipping them in a butter-parmesan sauce, I coat them in butter and parmesan and bake them. The result: Extra crispy skin and juicy meat!

Ingredients

The ingredients needed to make garlic parmesan wings.

See the recipe card for exact measurements. Here are my comments on some of the ingredients.

  • Grated Parmesan cheese: Use finely grated, not coarsely shredded cheese.
  • Seasonings: Black pepper, lots of garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and cayenne. Garlic powder works better than minced fresh garlic because it mixes better with the other spices and the parmesan and coats the chicken more evenly.
  • Fresh chicken wings: You can use the ones labeled "party wings," which come separated into flats and drumettes, or buy whole wings.

Variation: Add Sauce

If you'd like to use a sauce, season the wings with salt and pepper and spray them with oil. Place them in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes, then lower the heat to 170°F and leave them to crisp up for 30 more minutes.

Shortly before they're ready, melt ¼ cup of butter and mix in ¼ cup of grated parmesan, two minced garlic cloves, and a tablespoon of minced fresh parsley. Dip the wings into the sauce and serve.

Instructions

The detailed instructions and step-by-step photos are included in the recipe card. Here's a quick overview.

Mix the parmesan and seasonings in a shallow bowl. In another shallow microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Dip each wing in butter, then dredge it in the seasoned parmesan.

Place the wings on a greased rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Spray them with oil.

The coated wings are arranged in the pan.

Bake the wings for 30 minutes at 400°F, then lower the heat to the "keep warm" setting (170°F) and keep the wings in the oven for 60 more minutes. This method results in perfectly juicy meat and extra-crispy skin.

The wings are ready in the pan.

5 stars rating. My other half said this was probably the best chicken he's ever had and I have to agree! Making them again tomorrow. I thought they would dry out being in the oven for so long but not at all, succulently fell off the bone like absolute perfection!

Recipe Tips

  1. I usually buy "party wings" at the store, separated into flats and drumettes. But sometimes, I get whole wings, and even though standard instructions say to chop off their tips, I don't. I bake them whole, and the tips come out super crunchy. You can eat them, cartilage and all. It's really good!
  2. There's no need to season the wings with salt because the parmesan adds plenty of salt.
  3. Storage: You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them in the microwave, covered, at 50% power, or in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. You can also freeze the cooled leftovers for up to three months.

Serving Suggestions

If you'd like to serve these wings as a main course, they are very versatile and can be paired with many side dishes. I often serve them with one of the following:

  • Sauteed broccolini
  • Sauteed green beans
  • Baked zucchini fries
  • Roasted frozen cauliflower
  • Jicama fries

Notes

  • Be sure to use finely grated Parmesan cheese and not coarsely shredded cheese.

Place them in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes, then lower the heat to 170°F and leave them to crisp up for 30 more minutes. Shortly before they're ready, melt ¼ cup of butter and mix in ¼ cup of dry-grated parmesan, two minced garlic cloves, and a tablespoon of minced fresh parsley. Dip the wings into the sauce and serve.
  • There's no need to season the wings with salt because the parmesan adds plenty of salt.
  • You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them in the microwave, covered, at 50% power, or uncovered in a 350°F oven. You can also freeze the cooled leftovers for up to three months.

    Hi Vered DeLeeuw, I saw this recipe on google and had to try it!
    Made these tonight for the family and everyone loved them!

    I couldn't find any "party wings" so I bought whole wings and butchered them, got about 21 wings. For anyone thinking of using the whole wing in this recipe I would recommend preparing them as the party wings as they are both seasoned and cooked more evenly this way.

    I had to make some adjustments to the recipe by reducing the grated cheese to 1/2 cup and replacing ground cayenne pepper with ground chipotle pepper.
    Also used smoked paprika and added the onion powder (1tsp) This left about 7 wings unseasoned which was on purpose.

    The wings were full cooked at the 30 min mark and the extra 30 min helped make them crispy and even started to caramelize the bottom. Although they weren't as crispy compared to done in a frier they were a ton juicier.

    Will be keeping this recipe for sure thank you for sharing!
