Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

Sometimes you just need a wing that’s not oversauced, and that’s not hot and spicy, right? But, I’m always a little hesitant to try new wing flavors unless someone can vouch for them as being super tasty. For example, take buttery garlic wings like these – at a restaurant, I’m always afraid the wings will be way too garlicky for my tastebuds – which is why I made sure to test these wings out for the perfect amount of butter + garlic and even include recommendations for making them even more garlicky if your tastebuds desire.

Plus, there’s no overcomplicated breading + cooking process with these wings. To keep them gluten-free with just the right amount of crisp – while also being oven-baked – you’ll use arrowroot powder, which is my favorite go-to coating for gluten-free chicken wings. Let’s dive into making these garlic parmesan chicken wings!

Ingredients needed

  • 2 pounds fresh chicken wings and drummettes
  • 3 Tbsp. arrowroot powder or cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • chopped Parsley – optional

How to make garlic parmesan chicken wings

Place the fresh, not frozen, chicken wings into a large bowl and coat with three tablespoons of arrowroot powder plus 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Place a cooling rack onto a baking sheet and place the wings onto the cooling rack. This keeps the wings up off of the baking sheet and allows the heat to fully encircle the entire wing while cooking — Bake for 40-45 minutes.

Add 3/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon. minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to a small saucepan and melt over medium heat – stirring to combine.

Chicken Wing Recipes FAQs

Can chicken wings be frozen?

Ideally, no – it’s better to use fresh or fully thawed wings. If you are frying your chicken wings then you absolutely cannot use frozen wings. They need to be fully thawed.

Can chicken wings be cooked in a crock pot?

Yes! In fact, you can check out my crock pot chicken wings recipe where I go over how to cook chicken wings in the crock pot and still get a nice charred skin on the outside.

Are chicken wings white meat?

The chicken wing itself is white meat, while the drum is dark meat. Most chicken wings are a combination of wings and drummettes.

Can chicken wings be eaten cold?

Yes – you can eat fully cooked chicken wings that have been properly refrigerated.
