Creamy Garlic Parmesan Wings Ingredients
- Chicken wings: Cut the wings into three and you should be left with a drumette, wingette and wing tip. Discard the wing tips. Before seasoning the chicken, pat them dry using a paper towel. This will make the wings extra crispy. If you are using frozen wings, allow them to thaw completely before seasoning.
- Baking powder: This secret ingredient makes the chicken skin extra crispy. Make sure the baking powder has not expired, as this will prevent the chicken skin from becoming crispy.
- Garlic powder: Used to season the chicken wings.
- Salt: Do not add too much salt because the parmesan sauce tastes salty.
- Black pepper: Feel free to alter the amount of black pepper depending on your preference.
- Paprika: For a smokey spicy flavor.
- Parsley: For this recipe, select fresh parsley. Remove the stem and chop it before adding it to the buttery sauce.
- Garlic cloves: Grate garlic cloves or crush them.
- Unsalted butter: Melt butter in a bowl or on the stove to create the sauce base.
- Grated parmesan: Grate a block of parmesan for rich flavor.
Tips and Substitutions
- Chicken wings: Pat wings dry to ensure they are super crispy. In addition, do not crowd the wings while they cook, as this will stop the wings from becoming crunchy.
- Parmesan: Grate a block of parmesan as it has a richer flavor than grated parmesan.
- Parsley: Use fresh parsley rather than dried parsley for the best flavors.
- Wings: Coat the wings with the buttery sauce while still hot.
- Air fryer: These wings can also be prepared in an air fryer instead of an oven. Season the wings, place them in an air fryer and cook at 200C/400F for 12-15 minutes on each side. Once the wings are ready, toss them in the buttery parmesan sauce.
How to Make Creamy Garlic Parmesan Wings
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Add an oven rack to a baking tray and grease it with oil to prevent the wings from sticking.
2. Cut the wings into three and discard the wing tips. Pat the drums and flats dry and add them to a bowl.
3. Add baking powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the wings.
4. Mix until the wings are evenly coated. Place the wings on the greased rack and space them out.
5. Bake the wings on each side for 15-18 minutes, depending on their size.
6. Five minutes before the wings are done, melt butter in a saucepan on the stove or microwave. Then add grated garlic, chopped parsley and grated parmesan. Stir until combined.
7. Once the wings are ready, remove them from the oven and add them to the buttery sauce. Mix the sauce and wings. Make sure the wings are fully coated in the sauce.
8. Serve these delicious creamy garlic parmesan wings as an appetizer or side. If you want them extra cheesy, add more grated parmesan on top.
Recipe FAQs
The sauce is made with melted butter, grated garlic, grated parmesan and chopped parsley.
Yes, they are delicious. The wings are crispy and the parmesan sauce adds a deliciously cheesy, garlicky flavor to every bite.
The secret to crispy wings is baking powder! Add a few teaspoons of baking powder to the wings before cooking. It dries out the chicken skin, which creates a crispy skin.
Let the wings cool completely. Please place them in an air-tight container and refrigerate for 3 to 4 days. Reheat the wings in the microwave for a few minutes.

Garlic parmesan is my favorite wing flavor to order, but recently my local place has been super disappointing. Your recipe was above and beyond theirs, so I'll be returning to this post often to satisfy my wing cravings.
