Notes

 
  • 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.
