Garlic Parmesan wings

S

• 3 lbs. chicken wings (I like a mix of wings and drums) see notes
• 1 tbsp canola oil (or olive oil)
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• cooking spray for spraying wire rack for cooking

PARMESAN GARLIC SAUCE

• 1 tsp canola oil (or olive oil)
• 6 cloves garlic miced, or 3 tsp bottled minced garlic
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 3 tbsp parmesan cheese (bottled is great) *more to taste if desired
• 1 1/2 tbsp light corn syrup
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp ground oregano 
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1-2 pinches dried red pepper flakes *optional, add more or less to taste

Sauce makes about 3/4 cup – perfect for 3 lbs of wings. Sauce can be doubled if you want sauce for dipping or heavily sauced wings.

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (this is not necessary but it makes for easy clean up so the wings drip on the parchment paper). Place an oven safe wire rack on the baking sheet. Spray wire rack with cooking spray.
• Using a paper towel, pat the wings to get them as dry as possible.
• Drizzle canola oil over the wings and toss to make sure they are evenly covered.
• Mix your kosher salt and pepper together. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the wings with oil and toss gently. Try and get the wings as evenly covered with the salt and pepper as you can.
• Line the wings up on the wire rack, trying to make sure they are not touching each other for even cooking. You can also bake them wings in batches if you don't have enough room all at once on the wire rack.
• Place the wings in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 25 minutes.
• After the 50 minutes of baking, keep the wings in the oven and turn the oven temperature up to 450° and set your oven on broil. Let the wings broil for 3-5 minutes, then flip them over and let them broil for another 2-3 minutes or until they get crispy and browned to your liking.

  Remove from the oven when done

PARMESAN WING SAUCE

• While the wings are baking, in a small saucepan add the canola oil and garlic. Saute the garlic on medium heat until the garlic becomes fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small bowl add all of the sauce ingredients. Add in the sautéed garlic. Mix the ingredients well. Add more or less parmesan cheese to taste. Add more or less red pepper flakes to taste.
• After the wings have baked and broiled, toss the wings in the Parmesan Garlic Sauce and enjoy! 
• We love our wings dipped in ranch dressing.
