- Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
- Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the Dijon mustard and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Coat the Wings:
- Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl.
- Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Serve:
- Transfer the wings to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with any remaining sauce on the side.
For variations and tips on your chicken wings, here are some ideas:
- Flavor Variations: Try adding different spices to the seasoning mix, like cumin or chili powder, for a different flavor profile.
- Sauce Alternatives: Instead of the garlic Parmesan sauce, you could try a buffalo sauce, teriyaki glaze, or a honey mustard sauce for a sweet twist.
- Baking Technique: For extra crispiness, consider using a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow air to circulate around the wings while they bake.
- Garnishes: Besides parsley, you can use green onions or even crumbled feta cheese for a different touch.
- Meal Pairing: Serve the wings with a side of coleslaw or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the wings.
To store your chicken wings, follow these tips:
- Refrigeration: Allow the wings to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezing: If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the wings. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they can last for up to 2 months. Just remember to label the container with the date!
- Reheating: When you’re ready to eat them again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. This will help keep them crispy.
These storage methods will help maintain the flavor and texture of your wings!
