Instructions
How to Bake Crispy Chicken Wings
Preheat your oven to 400°.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a metal baking rack. IF you don't have a rack, you can still make these, they won't be as crispy but they will be delicious!
Pat the wings dry with a paper towel. Toss in the cornstarch until they are LIGHTLY COATED. You just want a dusting of cornstarch! Season with the salt and pepper.
Place the wings in a large bowl and toss with the oil until coated.
Place the wings onto the rack, making sure they don't touch, and bake until golden and crispy, about 50 minutes.
Making the Sauce
Place the butter into a small saucepan and melt over medium high heat. Add in the garlic and sautee until browned. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the parsley and Parmesan.
Place the the baked, hot chicken wings into a large bowl, then pour the sauce on top. Toss until the wings are completely coated in the sauce.
If desired, sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and serve with Ranch or Caesar dressing!
Notes
Remember that the calories are counted as if you eat ALL of the butter, but there will be sauce remaining that is not on the chicken wings.
