GAME DAY BESTSELLER
Extra-Crispy Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
Deep-fryer crispiness without any splattering oil. An aluminum-free baking powder dry brine draws out surface moisture in the oven, creating an ultra-crisp skin that absorbs garlic butter.

Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes, patted very dry
- 1 tbsp aluminum-free baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, finely grated or pressed
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
1
Dry and season wings
Thoroughly pat wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until lightly coated.
2
Bake on a wire rack
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place wings skin-side up on a wire rack set inside a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 40–45 minutes until blistered and crispy.
3
Whisk garlic butter sauce
While wings finish baking, whisk together the melted butter, grated garlic, half the parmesan, parsley, and red pepper flakes in a large metal bowl.
4
Toss and coat
Transfer piping-hot wings directly into the butter bowl. Toss vigorously to coat. Sprinkle remaining parmesan over the top and serve immediately.
💡 CHEF'S PRO TIPS
- Make sure to use aluminum-free baking powder, NEVER baking soda, which will taste bitter.
- Patience is key: do not crowd the baking sheet so steam escapes and skin turns crispy.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
