Garlic Parmesan Wings Recipe

Hailing from Upstate New York, it’s no surprise that I love wings. After you have the original Anchor Bar wings with their signature sauce, nothing else really comes close. I’ve never tried to make wings before because I always thought it was complicated with all the dry mixes and the sauces and the frying and the drying. This is similar to a menu item you’d find on the Buffalo Wild Wings happy hour menu except you can get it at home. But this recipe for garlic Parmesan chicken wings is so simple even a first-time wing-cooker can make them perfectly.

One of the best parts about this recipe is that the wings are baked and boiled instead of fried. I do love a good fried chicken wing but if I can get the same texture and deliciousness from baking, that’s what I’d prefer. When you boil the wings in the stockpot mixture, you allow them to absorb tons of great aromatic flavors and help add juice to the meat. This flavorful bath includes staples such as oregano, thyme, rosemary, and a bay leaf, which make the wings have an Italian-flavored flare. After you boil them in delectable juices, you coat them with breadcrumbs and cheese among other spices and stick them in the oven. It’s not overly complicated, it doesn’t take an extreme chef, and the texture and taste is exactly like fried wings. I would even put them up against some fried wings for comparison. The one thing I will note for  beginners is when you are cutting off the tips of the wings, use a sharp knife or a clever of some kind. I wasn’t sure how to get rid of the tips so I chopped them off vigorously with my 8″ chef’s knife. Make sure to remove any hanging pieces of bone before you put the wings in the boiling bath.

7. ½ TS dried rosemary
8. 6 cloves minced garlic
9. ½ TS salt
10. 1 TB and 1 ½ TS olive oil
11. 1 ½ TS black pepper
12. 1 TS red pepper flakes
13. 2 lbs chicken wings separated at the joint, tip discarded

7. Add chicken wings and bread crumbs to large bowl and coat the wings in the mixture
8. Add ¼ cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into the large bowl and toss until all wings are covered
