Garlic Parmesan Wings Recipe

Indulge in the irresistible crunch of these garlic parmesan wings, bursting with savory flavor in every bite. Whether you're hosting a game day gathering or simply craving a delicious snack, these wings are sure to impress. In this recipe, we'll explore how to achieve that perfect crispiness in the oven and offer tips for adapting the recipe for those using an air fryer (we recommend the Ninja AF101). Plus, we'll discuss the ideal dip to complement the rich garlic and parmesan flavors.

To ensure crispy perfection, we'll start by coating the wings in a blend of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Then, we'll bake them at a high temperature to achieve that golden brown exterior while keeping the meat tender and juicy on the inside. For those opting for the air fryer method, we'll provide adjustments to the cooking time and temperature to achieve the same delectable results.

Now, let's talk about the ultimate accompaniment for these flavorful wings: the dip. While these wings are delicious on their own, they truly shine when paired with a creamy ranch dip. The coolness of the ranch perfectly balances the bold garlic and parmesan flavors, creating a harmonious taste sensation that will leave you reaching for more.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using an air fryer, preheat it to 380°F (190°C).

2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown. If using the air fryer, place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overcrowding. Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.

4. Once cooked, sprinkle the wings with grated Parmesan cheese while they're still hot, allowing it to melt slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added freshness and color.

5. Transfer the wings to a serving platter and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese.
