Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
For the Crispy Baked Wings:
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt or 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 pounds chicken wings drumettes and flats separated (look for 'party wings' at the grocery store)
For the Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 large cloves garlic minced
- 3 dashes hot sauce such as Cholula Original or Frank's Red Hot
- 1 tablespoon minced parsley plus more for garnish
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese ~1 ounce
Instructions
Make the Crispy Baked Wings
- Adjust oven racks so that one rack is in the upper-middle and one is in the lower-middle.
- Preheat oven to 250 °F (121 °C).
- Set an oven-safe wire rack into a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Spray wire rack generously with non-stick spray or brush with oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cornstarch and kosher salt.
- Pat chicken drumettes and flats dry with paper towels. Add to bowl with cornstarch mixture and toss to coat evenly. Arrange in a single layer on rack in baking sheet. Bake on lower-middle rack for 30 minutes.
- Move wings to upper middle rack and increase oven temperature to 425 °F (218 °C). Bake 35-40 minutes more until golden brown, rotating the sheet half way through. Leave oven on.
Make the Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce
- When wings have baked for ~30 minutes at 425 °F (218 °C), make the sauce. Add butter to a small saucepan over medium heat. When it melts and starts to sizzle, add minced garlic; cook and stir until garlic is tender and mellowed, 1 to 2 minutes (reduce heat if it starts to brown). Remove from heat and stir in hot sauce and parsley.
Toss with Sauce, Finish Baking and Serve
- Transfer wings with tongs to a large bowl and pour garlic butter sauce over; toss to coat evenly. Transfer coated wings back to rack in baking sheet in an even layer and sprinkle with parmesan cheese; bake 5 minutes more. Transfer wings to serving platter and garnish with more parmesan cheese and parsley if desired. Serve.
