Garlic Parmesan Wings 😋 delicious & easy 😍

I highly recommend using good butter. My favorite is Rodolphe Le Meunier butter 🧈 😋 

Basically, cut wings into flat parts and little drummies, save wing tips for stock. Drizzle with olive oil, season w/salt & pepper (good additional options are onion powder, garlic powder, paprika & a tsp of baking powder❗😉), toss so evenly coated…with your best tools in the kitchen 👐 your hands. Place on baking sheet with rack. Bake at 400° for 45-55 minutes. Toss wings in bowl of 1/2-1 stick of melted butter, 4+ cloves of minced garlic, chopped parsley & about 3/4 to 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (the good kind) 🧀 I serve with extra parm of course 😉 a little parsley. More specifics below NOTE – do not add grated parm to hot butter. I melt butter before putting wings in oven; that way it has almost an hour to cool, then I stir in parm before tossing wings; OR you can toss wings in garlic butter THEN add parm & toss again 😉 otherwise you could end up with a big glob of cheese 🧀 😱 A lot of good side options with wings; just a salad, any kind of potatoes, mac & cheese, baked beans, any vegetables 🌽🥕🫛🥦 Exact measurements aren’t necessary; this is a guide. Go by your taste preferences. We LOVE garlic AND cheese…and butter 🤭 & salt 😜

Ingredients

• 3 pounds chicken wings
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon table salt
• ¾ teaspoon black pepper, divided
• ½ cup (4 oz.) salted butter, melted
• 4 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 1/2 Tbsp.), or MORE 
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 4 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup)

Directions

Instructions

• Step 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Set a wire rack inside 2 rimmed baking sheets.
• Step 2 Toss together wings, oil, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper in a large bowl to coat. Divide wings between baking sheets, and place in a single layer. Bake in preheated oven until browned and crispy, about 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Step 3 While wings are cooking, heat butter, garlic, crushed red pepper, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small saucepan over medium-low until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Step 4 Remove wings from oven, and immediately transfer to a large bowl. Add garlic butter mixture; toss to coat. Then add cheese, parsley, and toss again. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan at serving.
