Why oven bake wings?
Oven baking chicken wings is such an effortless method compared to frying, but you can still achieve that perfect crispy skin. It’s also a healthier way to cook the wings as you are not adding any additional oil, but they are still super juicy.
Can you make them ahead of time?
These chicken parmesan wings are best served right out of the oven. To get ahead of things, you can coat them in the seasoning a few hours ahead of time, so you just have to pop them in the oven.
If you do have leftovers (doubtful!) they will keep well for 3 to 4 days and can be heated through in the oven at 350F.
What do you serve them with?
I like to serve these wings with the garlic butter that is used to glaze the wings, you have a great homemade dip with zero effort. I also like to serve them up with some ranch for a bit of variety. Don’t forget the carrot and celery sticks!
Recipe Tips and Notes
- Pat the wings dry before seasoning them. This helps to remove excess moisture and will help them to crisp up.
- Bake the wings on a rack over a baking tray. This will help to get the wings crispy all over and the tray will catch any juices.
These oven baked garlic parmesan wings are finger lickin’ good! Salty and savory, every bite is truly delicious.

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings is a oven-baked recipe and I have tried it with ghee replacing butter. The result was good and all my family members loved the chicken. Baking with ghee is a better option than butter as ghee is more flavorsome and safer for ghee’s high smoke point.
