Best Homemade Garlic Parmesan Wings

We all can appreciate the crispy bite into a piece of fried chicken but how about a good baked wing? It is possible and actually easy to accomplish this same unforgettable crispy texture that you will go back for.

But wait, you will also love my other wing recipes too. There is nothing better than making a variety to serve. The WOW factor alone is priceless.

Fun Fact: Did you know that July 29th is National Chicken Wing Day? It sure is, so mark your calendar so you don’t miss that celebration.

Garlic Parmesan Wings can be made from boneless wings, or wings and drumettes, a smaller drumstick. So choose what works best for you and let’s jump in. I’ve got some tips and tricks to make them all perfect!

Tips for the Best Garlic Parmesan Wings

You want that deep fried crispy texture so make sure to follow these easy tips for the perfect crispy wings:

• Dry the Wings: I like to pat a paper towel on wings to absorb any extra liquid. I find the better you dry the wings the more crispy they become.
• Toss in Corn Starch: The cornstarch will naturally absorb liquid, but hopefully your wings are dry that the cornstarch will coat the wings and still have a nice white coat on them.
• Oven Temperature: 400 Degrees. A nice hot oven makes a difference. Let your oven preheat before baking for the perfect golden brown.
• Cookie Sheet or Baking Rack: Cook on Baking Sheet or Baking Rack. I like to line cookie sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.
• Don’t Over Crowd: Leave space in between each wing. This allows heat to reach everywhere and makes for the best crispy baked chicken wings.

Dipping Sauces to pair with this Garlic Parm Wings Recipe

It’s super important to serve dipping sauces with your homemade crispy chicken wings. I love ranch as a dipping sauce, so it’s always a welcome sauce.

You can also make extra garlic parmesan sauce for dipping.

However, for Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings I also love to dip in:

• Italian dressing
• Blue cheese dressing
• Homemade Buffalo Sauce
• Garlic Butter Sauce

Storing and Freezing Homemade Garlic Parmesan Wings

As always, leftover chicken wings can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

A fair warning, in my home, chicken wings come out of the oven and a hoard of teenage boys come scrambling. Don’t hesitate to double the batch to ensure you will get a few too!

I don’t recommend freezing cooked chicken wings. Although it is totally possible, they thaw fairly dry and always need a new coat of sauce.

Reheating this Garlic Parmesan Wings Recipe

It’s easy to reheat wings. Of course if you own an air fryer that would be ideal. Set for 350 degrees for a couple minutes to heat through.

You can also reheat chicken wings under the broiler for a few minutes as well. I do like to lower the rack one notch.

Do you ever wonder why Chicken Wings are served with a stick of Celery or even Carrot Sticks? Typically Chicken Wings have bold strong flavors and many are spicy too. A stick of celery or carrot will cleanse your palate and help to tone down those bold flavors too.

The microwave works, but meat often ends up a little rubbery and has the tendency to explode. Make sure you cover them with a paper towel to prevent messes.

Notes

*This is one of the few recipes where I asked you to use the grated shaker cheese because you want the texture and for it to NOT melt into the sauce. Look for the grated cheese that is little balls, not the shredded cheese. Allow this can be used, the texture isn’t the same as in a restaurant.
