Crispy Baked Parmesan Chicken Wings – These chicken wings are baked crisp to a golden perfection, then smothered in a Parmesan cheese, parsley and chili flakes mixture. It’s finger licking good!

Baked Chicken Wings

So you like wings, don’t you? Do you like them fried? You probably do. But wings don’t need to be fried. I NEVER fry chicken wings, unless I’m making this Buttermilk Fried Chicken. Why would you want to fry wings? Wings excel in the oven, my friends.

They’re the perfect little pieces of meat surrounded by a nice layer of fat that when baked in the oven, the fat slowly melts away causing the wings to perfectly crisp up to a golden perfection. Baked chicken wings are perfection, most of the time I just like them with salt and pepper but then sometimes I like them saucy and sticky and other times I prefer them smothered in Parmesan cheese.

How Long Do You Bake Chicken Wings for

Chicken wings take about 40 minutes to bake until they’re nice and crispy at 425 F degrees. However, each oven is different, so start looking in on them after 30 minutes.

Ingredients in Parmesan Chicken Wings

Parmesan cheese with loads of parsley, salt and pepper, some garlic powder and lots of red pepper chili flakes. Oh yeah, you want those chili flakes because that’s how you kick it up a notch and go from ordinary but still good crispy baked wings to extraordinary crispy baked wings with a kick!

I loaded these babies with Parmesan cheese because I’m nuts about it. I think it’s funny that some peeps don’t like Parmesan cheese because they think it smells like dirty feet, but you need the good stuff, and grate it yourself. The good stuff is really good, still smelly but in a good way. I eat Parmesan cheese on its own, that’s how much I love it, and yeah I do put it on everything!

But baked wings are to be appreciated. All you need is to have faith that they will come out nice and crispy and perfection. Then just load them up with your faves, in this case this Parmesan mixture, and life is all good again.

Crispy Baked Parmesan Chicken Wings – These chicken wings are baked crisp to a golden perfection, then smothered in a Parmesan cheese, parsley and chili flakes mixture. It’s finger licking good!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Parmesan mixture

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper chili flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
US Customary – Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, this will save you from scrubbing the baking pan until tomorrow.
  • Season the wings generously with salt, pepper and the 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until they’re golden crisp.
  • While wings are baking, mix all the Parmesan mixture ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • When the wings are done baking, transfer them to a bowl right away. Dump the Parmesan mixture over the wings and toss well, making sure each wing is fully covered with the Parmesan mixture. Serve right away.

Recipe Notes

  1. My wings already came pre-cut into wingettes and drumettes, but if they are not, remove the wing tip then cut them vertically through the joint. Discard the wing tip. 
  2. If your wings aren’t golden and crispy after 45 minutes, turn the broiler on and broil them for about 3 more minutes, watching them carefully as they could burn quickly.
  3. Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.

    I’ve been making the Skinny Thai Chicken Meatballs with Peanut sauce from this site for awhile now (having it tonight as a matter of fact), and it only recently occurred to me that other recipes from this site might also be good. The Crispy Baked Parmesan Chicken wings also did not disappoint. My wing-loving son gave it 9.5 out of 10. That’s high praise coming from him! Hubby and I also loved them. Came out crispy and delicious. Give them a try!
