Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes (skin-on)
  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup (about 50g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano recommended)
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • For the creamy ranch dip:
  • 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (60g) mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Dry the wings thoroughly with paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, combine baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Toss the wings in this mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange wings on the wire rack in a single layer without touching. Bake for 25 minutes.
  5. Flip the wings over and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  6. While wings bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Set aside.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
  9. Once wings are out of the oven, immediately toss them in the warm garlic Parmesan sauce until fully coated.
  10. Serve wings hot with the creamy ranch dip, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.

Notes

Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid metallic taste. Dry wings thoroughly before baking for maximum crispiness. Flip wings halfway through baking for even color. If wings aren’t crispy enough, broil for 1-2 minutes watching closely. For dairy-free version, use vegan butter and dairy-free Parmesan alternatives and substitute ranch dip with cashew-based dressing. Leftover wings can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
