  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is essential for achieving maximum crispiness.

Step 2: Bake the Chicken Wings

  2. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  1. While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and chives until well combined.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4: Coat the Wings

  1. Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl.
  2. Pour the garlic parmesan mixture over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as-is.
  2. Pair with celery sticks, carrots, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Tips for the Best Garlic Parmesan Wings

  • Dry the Wings Thoroughly: Patting the wings dry is essential for achieving that perfect crispness.
  • Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes for Depth: Sun-dried tomatoes add a sweet, tangy flavor that complements the garlic parmesan sauce beautifully.
