3-Ingredient Crispy Garlic Parm Wings – Easy, Flavorful, and Addictive!
If you love crispy wings but don’t want to deal with deep frying, these 3-Ingredient Crispy Garlic Parm Wings are exactly what you need! They come out perfectly golden, packed with garlicky, cheesy goodness, and require almost no effort. Whether you’re making them for game day, a family dinner, or just a weekend snack, this recipe is a total winner.
What makes these wings so incredible? First, they’re baked, not fried, so you still get that crispy texture without the extra oil. Plus, with just three simple ingredients, they couldn’t be easier to throw together. A little olive oil ensures they crisp up beautifully, while fresh garlic adds bold flavor. And of course, Parmesan cheese melts into a savory, golden crust that makes these wings irresistible.
Even better, they pair well with just about anything—serve them with ranch, blue cheese, or a side of crispy fries. So, why not give them a try? Once you do, these crispy, cheesy wings might just become your new favorite!
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.
