Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are one of my favorite snacks on Super Bowl Sunday and for the past few years, I’ve always made my usual Lemon Pepper Wings. This year, I wanted to add a couple more flavors, a Buffalo Maple that’s sweet and slightly spicy and this Garlic Parmesan that’s savory and garlicky.

I’m sharing 2 chicken wing recipes this week for you to add to your game day spread. You can never go wrong with serving these because they’re an instant crowd pleaser! These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings are inspired by this joint near my place called Wing Stop. Whenever my mom and my brother Carlo would come over, we would walk over to Wing Stop and order a bunch of tasty wings. My mom loves the garlic parmesan one and I’ve always wanted to re-create it so I finally did!

Baking these in the oven on a baking rack helps the wings cook evenly on both sides so the skin crisps up nicely without using a ton of oil. It also helps drain excess fat so the wings do not become soggy as they cook.

I love chicken wings so much that I can eat this entire recipe by myself. Give me a big plate of carrots and celery stick to go with it and I’m one happy camper!
