- 4 pounds chicken wings
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Preheat oven to 425f and set rack in middle. Chop the parsley, mince the garlic and grate 1/2 cup of parmesan.
Dry the wings very well with papers towels and toss with 1/4 vegetable oil, 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place wings on a wire rack and bake for 50 minutes turning once after 30 minutes.
While wings are baking heat butter and extra virgin olive oil over medium-low heat and saute garlic for 2-3 minutes. During last 30 seconds add crushed red pepper flakes, stir, then turn off heat and set aside.
After 50 minutes remove wings and toss with 3/4 of the garlic butter and 1/4 cup of parmesan. Place wings back on the rack and broil for 5-10 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Watch during broiling process to avoid burning.
Remove wings and plate. Drizzle remaining garlic butter and sprinkle remaining cheese on top of wings. Sprinkle the parsley on as well. Enjoy!
- Total cooking time should be roughly 50-55 minutes. All ovens are different so use time as a general guideline.
- Keep an eye on the wings during broiling process. If the wings are very crispy prior to broiling, skip the step or only broil for 1-2 minutes.
- Crushed red pepper is totally optional, but adds a nice kick.
- 1 part red wine vinegar to 4 parts ranch dressing makes a nice dipping sauce for the garlic parmesan wings.
