Who doesn't love a really good chicken wing?? These Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Wings are a delicious alternative to typical hot wings and bonus! These babies are oven-baked. No need to fry wings at home when baking them turns out just as good (and easier too).
It took me many, many years to get on the chicken wing bandwagon. Call me a princess, but I had always liked my chicken boneless. I wanted my wings boneless but I truly had wing envy every time everyone around me was oohing and aahing about their wing order. So, I finally toughened up and jumped on that party train!
I only fry a handful of things at home and wings are not one of them. I found that baking or grilling wings end up just as delicious and so much easier, especially when making a bunch of chicken wings vs frying them.
The Parmesan Garlic Sauce on these wings is delicious! Your fingers will end up as delicious as the wings! Don't waste a drop!
My favorite wing recipe had always been my Grilled Asian Style Wings, which I have made for many a party and sports watching gathering. Second is a Cajun rub I do on wings that my husband and I love. Since making these Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Wings, however, the Cajun has been knocked to third place.
I couldn't even get through taking shots of these wings without taking a big bite! The perils of food blogging are real, lol! Just ask my waistline!
Which do you enjoy more? The drummette or the wing part? Me? I like the wing part as seen above. Sometimes you can find fresh chicken wings already cut (love that). If not, frozen usually are or buy fresh and carefully cut them yourself.
I hope you try these wings out!
Tag me with a pic on Instagram at @soufflebombay if you do! I would love to see yours!
I came across these wings on the website How To Feed A Loon. I adjusted the recipe a bit and baked them vs frying. Yummmm!
Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Wings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs of chicken wings drums and wingettes separated, if frozen make sure they are fully thawed
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano chopped
- 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme chopped
- ½ teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
- Parmesan Garlic Sauce
- ½ cup of unsalted butter 1 stick
- 2 TBS garlic paste or 2 large garlic cloves finely minced
- 2 TBS your favorite wing sauce
- ¼ cup of chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- ½ teaspoon of Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon of fresh black pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon minced fresh oregano
- ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Pat your wings dry with a paper towel and place them in a large bowl
- In a smaller bowl, mix together the oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, cumin, salt and pepper and then whisk until incorporated.
- Pour the mixture over your wings, scraping the bowl with a spatula to get every bit. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
- Cover and place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the wings to marinate.
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place wings on a baking sheet, spreading them out and bake for 40 minutes or until fully cooked. Halfway turn the wings with tongs a couple of times throughout the cooking process. Size of wings will dictate a longer or shorter cooking time.
- While the wings bake, in a medium saute pan, add the butter, wing sauce, chicken stock, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a small pot and stir until combined. Add in garlic paste (or fresh garlic) and bring to a simmer. Allow sauce to simmer for 6-7 minutes, reducing it slightly.
- Remove the cooked chicken wings from the oven and place in a clean large bowl.
- Pour the sauce over the wings tossing them well until coated and then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and herbs over-top.
- Toss well until all wings are coated.
- Place on serving platter and enjoy!

What wing sauce did you use?
Joan says
*The sauce is delicious!
*I used a garlic Parmesan sauce since
it didnt specify in the recipe. Just says your favorite wing sauce.
*I followed the recipe but my wings dodnt come out crispy. I even put them under the broiler for a few mins to try to crisp the up. Still tasted good but I was disappointed in the lack of crispness.
Josh says
Use a tbsp of baking powder to help get them crispier
Suzi Ufland says
I’ve also never heard of “ wing sauce”.
Julie says
Sauce was good but not crispy at all.
Michelle says
Wing sauce like franks red hot
Stacy says
Use non stick cooking spray to coat both sides of wings & place on non stick cookie sheet or aluminum foil. This, with frequent turning, will make crispier wings. Adjust time as desired crispness occurs.
Colleen says
Thanks for the tip Stacy!
JODY DUTCHER says
in step 7 it says to add garlic powder, but when you look at the ingred. there is no garlic powder listed only garlic paste or fresh garlic minced. can't wait to try this tonight. I eat wings all the time, in fact almost every day. i'm going to use Franks wings sauce and omit the salt from the sauce, it's salty enough. I agree to spray your wings with cooking spray it will help, but I have never had a problem with getting them crisp. thank you for this recipe
Jon weston says
I read alot of comments about crispyness
Try putting the wings on the raised cookie cooling racks, it keeps them out of the grease and liquid and gives them a chance to crisp up.
Also healthier, less greasy, I do this every time I do wings in my oven.
Colleen says
Perfect tip Jon. TY
Laura says
I can't believe these are baked. They look so crispy!
Anne Lawton says
These wings are delicious! I love baking them in the oven for a healthier option and less to clean up!
Colleen says

Jersey Girl Cooks says
This is the type of wings my family would love!
Terri says
I'm all about baked wings - so delicious! Although I have a deep fryer, it's a pain to get out and it's too greasy.
Carlos at Spoonabilities says
I pinned & printed the recipe. I love anything with cheese and garlic. I have been trying to find wing recipes to use in my air fryer and this one will be perfect!
Colleen says
Let me know how they come out in the AF! I have made wings that way a number of times, just not this flavor.
Eileen Kelly says
These wings bring bold flavors and are crispy and crunchy! The family will be enjoying these often.
