Garlic Parmesan Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken Wings

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the wings in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Wings

    Drizzle olive oil over the wings, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bake the Wings

    Spread the seasoned wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make Buffalo Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add hot sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir until combined and heated through.

  2. 5

    Make Barbecue Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together barbecue sauce, honey, and smoked paprika until well combined.

  3. 6

    Make Garlic Parmesan Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley until well mixed.

Coating the Wings

  1. 7

    Coat with Sauce

    Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour your desired sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the coated wings hot with your choice of dipping sauces and celery sticks on the side.
