Instructions

Are you ready to make crispy wings? Let’s get started! First, I dry the wings and season them. I use baking powder, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika. This mix helps make them crispy.

To get extra crispy, I put the wings on a wire rack in the fridge. You can wait 45 minutes or up to 24 hours. Waiting longer makes them even crisper.

Next, I preheat my oven to 450°F. High heat is key for crispiness. I bake the wings for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway. Watch them closely, as times may vary.

While the wings bake, I start making the garlic parmesan sauce. I melt butter in a pan and add minced garlic and fresh parsley. The smell is amazing!

After the wings are done, I toss them in the garlic butter sauce. Then, I sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. For air fryer lovers, cook at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.

“The secret to truly crispy wings lies in the preparation and cooking method. Don’t rush the process – it’s worth the wait!”

And that’s how you make crispy, tasty garlic parmesan wings. They’re sure to be the hit of any party!

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Want crispy wing tips that’ll make your mouth water? I’ve got you covered! Start by patting your wings dry. This little step makes a big difference.

Next, sprinkle some baking powder on them. It’s my secret weapon for extra crunch. Spread those wings out on a wire rack, giving them space to crisp up evenly.

When it’s time to sauce up, grab a big bowl. Toss your wings in it to make sure every bit gets coated. Trust me, it’s worth the extra dish to wash.

For chicken wing storage, pop any leftovers in an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating wings can be tricky, but I’ve cracked the code. Skip the microwave – it’ll just make them soggy. Instead, fire up your air fryer to 300°F or use the oven. This way, you’ll bring back that delicious crunch.

With these tips, you’ll be a wing master in no time!
