Keto Garlic Parmesan Baked Chicken Wings (Print)

Crispy baked wings coated in garlic Parmesan butter for a flavorful low-carb meal.

# Components:

→ Chicken Wings

01 - 1.5 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
02 - 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
03 - 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
04 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

→ Garlic Parmesan Butter

05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
06 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
07 - 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
08 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
09 - 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
02 - Pat chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
04 - While wings bake, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and half of the Parmesan cheese in a bowl and mix well.
05 - Remove wings from oven. Toss immediately in the garlic Parmesan butter mixture until thoroughly coated.
06 - Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes. Serve hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're genuinely crispy without a trace of that rubbery texture store-bought wings sometimes have.
  • The garlic Parmesan butter situation is ridiculously simple but tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.
  • Works perfectly for game day, dinner parties, or when you just want something special on a Tuesday.
02 -
  • The baking powder thing isn't a gimmick, it actually changes the pH of the chicken skin and creates legitimate crispiness that rivals deep frying.
  • Don't toss wings in the butter until they come straight out of the oven, because the heat makes everything cling together beautifully instead of sliding off.
03 -
  • Pat your wings drier than you think is necessary, because this is genuinely the difference between crispy and just okay.
  • Don't wait to toss them in the butter, do it the second they come out of the oven while they're still steaming hot.
