Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings – Baked Twice
This must be the 4th or 5th attempt at making truly crispy, tasty, garlic Parmesan chicken wings at home. I’ve followed many different suggested recipes and either they were too mushy, couldn’t taste the garlic, or worse, couldn’t taste any cheese.
Well, finally folks, I have the answer for you. The key is the twice-baked method, with multiple rounds of garlic, and of course, Parmesan cheese. If you place the garlic on too early in the cooking process, it burns off, too late, slides off the wing. Combine it with some butter 3/4th of the way through seems to be the happy medium.
You won’t regret trying these at home. A crowd-pleaser especially for those who aren’t a fan of spicy wings. Let us know how they come!
