Recipe Yield: 4 servings (about 16-20 wings)

INGREDIENTS

2 lb chicken wings
¼ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup Parmesan cheese, grated (½ cup for tossing, ¼ cup for sprinkling)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. For extra crispiness, place a wire rack over the baking sheet.

2. Coat the wings: In a large bowl, toss chicken wings with olive oil, minced garlic, and ½ cup Parmesan cheese until evenly coated. If you prefer a deeper garlic flavor, let the wings marinate in olive oil and garlic for 30 minutes before baking.

3. Arrange on baking sheet: Spread wings in a single layer, leaving space between them for even crisping.

4. Bake: Cook for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure golden, crispy skin. Wings are fully cooked when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and the juices run clear.

5. Add Parmesan: Immediately after removing wings from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese so it melts slightly and sticks to the wings.

6. Serve: Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Use Fresh Garlic for Maximum Flavor: Freshly minced garlic provides a bold, rich, and slightly sweet taste that enhances every bite. Pre-minced or powdered garlic can be convenient, but fresh garlic delivers a more intense, aromatic flavor that pairs perfectly with Parmesan.
• Bake on a Wire Rack for Extra Crispiness: If you want crispy, golden-brown wings with perfectly rendered skin, place a wire rack over your baking sheet. This allows air to circulate around the wings, helping them cook evenly and get that irresistible crunch without frying.
• Let the Wings Rest Before Serving: Right after baking, let the wings sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop. During this time, the Parmesan will melt slightly, and the juices will redistribute, ensuring juicy, flavorful wings in every bite.
