Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4-6 wings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup garlic butter
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the wings cook evenly and get crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the flour mixture. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the flour and spices. Shake off any excess flour.
- Place the coated wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Ensure they are spread out in a single layer to allow for even cooking.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly on both sides. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic butter. In a small saucepan, melt the garlic butter over low heat. If you’re using store-bought garlic butter, simply warm it up. If you’re making your own, combine unsalted butter with minced garlic and melt it together.
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted garlic butter over the wings and toss them gently to coat them evenly.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the wings and toss again until the wings are well coated with the cheese. The heat from the wings will help the cheese adhere.
- Serve the wings immediately while they are hot. You can garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your homemade Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Wings!
Tips
- Pat the wings completely dry before coating to ensure maximum crispiness
- Use fresh, high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give wings space to crisp up evenly
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder to the flour mixture
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure wings reach 165°F internal temperature
- Let wings rest for a few minutes after coating to help the cheese adhere better
- For an extra crispy texture, you can briefly broil the wings for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking
