Chicken wings should be easy to prepare and taste great and those two simple rules are applied to these Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings. With so much flavour, it's hard to believe that they are baked in an oven! Tossed in a garlicky, cheesy, butter sauce, there never seems to be enough of these to please everyone!
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a cooling rack on it. Set that aside. Transfer the wings to a mixing bowl with the salt, pepper, and cornstarch. Toss the wings well until coated.
Next, coat the cooling rack with cooking spray and transfer the wings to it. It’s imperative to lay the wings out so that they are not overlapping or even touching for that matter. The space between the wings will encourage faster cooking and more browning.
Bake the wings for 40 minutes. Remove them from the oven and use tongs to turn each wing over. Place them back into the oven to bake for 10 more minutes. Once done, remove from oven and set aside.
Transfer the olive oil and butter to a large skillet and melt together over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Stir in the parmesan and parsley.
Transfer the baked wings to the skillet. Toss the wings with the butter and parmesan mixture until each wing is well coated.
Plate and top with more parmesan and parsley for garnish - optional. Serve immediately.
