Ingredients

  • 3 pounds (1360g) whole chicken wings
  • 1 stick butter melted
  • 5 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley optional
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup (89g) parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions

  • Cut chicken wings into wingettes and drumettes and pat dry with paper towles. Place the raw chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with a paper towel to dry out in the fridge overnight. Cover the chicken wings and let them dry for a minimum of 1 hour if possible.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F/ 160 degrees C.
  • Line a rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil and top with an oven proof baking rack. Spray with non-stick cooking spray or brush with vegetable oil.
  • Lay the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, garlic, parsley and salt together and brush half of the mixture onto the tops of the wings.
  • Bake the chicken wings for 15 minutes then flip the chicken over and brush the tops with the remaining butter mixture. Return the chicken wings to the oven to bake for another 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of the wings then bake for another 10 minutes or until the parmesan has melted.
  • Serve with freshly chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.

Notes

  • Cut whole wings into sections. 
  • Dry the wings before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels, then rest the wings on a rack in the fridge for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. 
  • Use an ovenproof baking rack over a foil-lined large rimmed baking sheet for easy cleanup. 
  • Spray the wire rack with oil spray or brush with vegetable oil. 
  • Make sure the chicken is in a single layer on the baking rack. 
  • Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your wings. 
  • If using salted butter in the garlic butter sauce, decrease the amount of added salt. 
  • Always use fresh herbs and spices whenever possible. 
  • Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The temperature should be 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
  • There are 10 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
