Parmesan Chicken Wings Ingredients
- Chicken Wings – You’ll need 2 lbs of chicken wings.
- Parmesan Cheese – These wings will taste best when you use freshly grated parmesan cheese (not the jar stuff).
- Butter – I used salted butter. You could also use coconut oil, avocado oil or another cooking oil for this step.
- Spices – For spices you’ll need dried parsley, paprika, salt and pepper.
How To Make Baked Parmesan Chicken Wings
- Make The Coating Mix – You’ll need two separate bowls for the chicken coating mix. One bowl will have melted butter. The other will have freshly grated parmesan cheese, dried parsley, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Dip Chicken – First, dip a chicken wing in melted butter. Next, add it to the parmesan mix and coat all sides. Place the wings in a single layer on a greased baking sheet (use a baking rack for extra crispy chicken).
- Bake – Bake at 350°F for 45-55 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F as an internal temperature when poked with a meat thermometer.
Tips For Crispier Chicken Wings
- Don’t prewash your chicken. Instead, just lightly pat them dry with a towel.
- Use a baking rack – this helps the fat drip away from the chicken so it gets nice and crispy.
- Broil the chicken on high for a few minutes after baking. Keep an eye on them as they crisp up to avoid burning.
