Garlic Parmesan Wings Instructions
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Step 2: Toss the Wings
Toss the wings with a little vegetable oil in a large bowl.
The oil will help the seasoning mixture adheres to the chicken skin plus it will ensure that the chicken wings bake up nice and crispy.
Step 3: Mix the Seasoning
Mix parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
Step 4: Coat the Wings
Add the oil-coated wings to the seasoning bowl and toss them a second time.
Step 5: Arrange
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the pan you prepared in step 1.
Step 6: Bake
Bake your wings for 30 minutes, flip them, then bake for another 10-15 minutes. Check that your wings have reached an internal temperature of 165°F before removing them from the oven.
Garlic Parmesan Wings Expert Tips
- Make sure your wings have thawed completely and that you pat them dry. This will prevent a wet wing, the seasoning will stick to the skin much better if the wings are dry, to begin with.
- Make sure you do not crowd the baking pan. An even layer of wings will ensure that they all cook evenly. The wings will need to be turned only once during baking.
Garlic Parmesan Wings Substitutions
- Feel free to substitute or add more or different seasonings. Lemon zest or white pepper would add more spice and would blend nicely with the Parmesan cheese.
- Adding a splash of lemon juice would add a bright, fresh flavor.
- If you want to, you can use chicken drumettes instead of wings or in addition to wings.
How to Reheat Dry Rub Chicken Wings
To reheat dry rub chicken wings, the best method is in the oven. However, you can certainly microwave them as well.
If you’re reheating in the oven, arrange your leftover wings on a foil-lined baking sheet and reheat at 350 for about 15 minutes.

Karen T says
I made these and they were delicious, but I did not use a rack and should have more thoroughly oiled the foil lined pan as some stuck to the foil when I went to try to turn them. I love baked wings and those are the only kind I usually make. I will process my cheese in the food processor next time to make the cheese a finer texture. Thank you for a really nice recipe to work with.
