Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 lbs (907 grams) chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Sauce and Garnish Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 cup (100 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the cooking surface by setting the oven to 425F (220C) or heating oil in a deep fryer to 350F (175C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top if baking.
- Thoroughly dry chicken wings using paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness and even seasoning.
- Create a flavor blend by mixing olive oil with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Gently toss wings in the seasoning mixture, ensuring each piece is completely and uniformly coated with the aromatic spice blend.
- For oven-baked method, arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, allowing air circulation for optimal crispiness.
- If baking, roast wings for 40-45 minutes, carefully flipping midway to guarantee even browning and complete cooking.
- For deep-frying technique, carefully submerge wings in hot oil, cooking in small batches to maintain proper temperature and prevent overcrowding.
- Fry wings for 8-10 minutes until they achieve a golden-brown exterior and are thoroughly cooked internally.
- Remove wings from oven or oil and allow them to rest on paper towels to absorb excess oil and maintain their crisp texture.
- Serve immediately while wings are hot and at peak crunchiness, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs or additional seasoning.
Notes
- Select high-quality chicken wings with even sizes to ensure uniform cooking and crispy texture.
- Pat wings completely dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture, guaranteeing extra-crispy skin when baking or frying.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature reaches 165F (74C) for safe consumption, preventing undercooked chicken.
- Experiment with alternative seasoning blends like Italian herbs or Cajun spices to personalize the wing flavor profile.
