Football season is back, so it’s time for delicious game day snacks! No matter the occasion, if you bring out these garlic parmesan wings, they will be gone in a short period of time. The garlic and parmesan flavors together is the perfect combination. Try these and you won’t order wings for takeout again. Well, at least not garlic parmesan wings.
What are garlic parmesan wings
Garlic parmesan wings are oven fried, then tossed in a garlicky parmesan sauce. Also, I serve these wings with a garlic, parmesan dipping sauce.
How to prepare
Because these wings are oven-fried, very little oil is needed. In a bowl, coat the wings with oil using your hand or a large spoon. Next, season your wings. I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Use the same method of using your hand, or a large spoon to make sure each wing is thoroughly seasoned.
Next, the wings are coated in baking powder instead of flour. Baking powder will give the wings a crisp without an enormous about of breading. By no means, do not use baking soda. Baking soda will not work. Not to mention, the taste and texture will be horrible. So, you’ve been warned.
Add the wings to a 400 degree preheated oven and let them cook for 45-minutes. The wings will be golden brown and crispy.
Parmesan garlic butter sauce.
This is the most important part of these wings. You can’t have these wings without this butter sauce. The butter sauce is made with melted butter, minced garlic, freshly grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. After the wings are removed from the oven, they are tossed in this flavorful sauce and served.
Parmesan dipping sauce
I also make a garlic, parmesan dipping sauce that is made with mayo, parmesan cheese, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, water, salt and pepper.
