Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450°F (230°C).

2. Step 2

   To make cleanup a breeze, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and give it a light spritz of cooking spray.

3. Step 3

   In a large stockpot, pour in some cold water and add balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup of salt, a bay leaf, thyme, oregano, and rosemary.

4. Step 4

   Bring this aromatic mixture to a boil, letting the flavors meld beautifully.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s bubbling away, gently add the chicken wings and let them boil for about 15 minutes.

6. Step 6

   When the time’s up, use a slotted spoon to lift the wings out and place them on a cooling rack to dry for 15 minutes—this step is key for achieving that perfect crispiness.

7. Step 7

   While the wings are drying, take a moment to mash the minced garlic with a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle until it’s smooth and fragrant.

8. Step 8

   In a large bowl, combine the mashed garlic with olive oil, black pepper, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little kick.

   Now, it’s time to add those dried chicken wings to the bowl and toss them gently to ensure they’re evenly coated in that delicious garlic mixture.

    Finally, fold in 1/2 cup of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, mixing well to create a cheesy, flavorful coating.

    Transfer the wings to your prepared baking sheet and top them off with the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for an irresistible cheesy crust.

13. Step 13

    Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.
