Keto Garlic Parmesan Wings (Print Version)

Golden baked wings tossed in garlic Parmesan butter, delivering crispy, flavorful bites with a keto twist.

# Ingredient List:

→ Chicken Wings

01 - 1.5 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
02 - 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Garlic Parmesan Butter

05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
06 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
07 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
08 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional
09 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and position a wire rack on top.
02 - Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
04 - While wings bake, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and half of the Parmesan cheese in a bowl.
05 - Remove wings from oven. Toss immediately in the garlic Parmesan butter mixture until well coated.
06 - Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • These wings stay crispy on the outside even after tossing in butter, which honestly feels like breaking the laws of physics.
  • The garlic Parmesan combination tastes restaurant-quality but comes together while your oven does the real work.
  • It's genuinely keto-friendly without any sad substitutes or weird aftertaste lingering.
  • Cleanup is minimal when you use foil, leaving more time to actually enjoy eating.
02 -
  • Wet wings will steam instead of crisp, so don't skip the paper towel step no matter how much you're rushing.
  • Toss the wings in the butter immediately after removing them from the oven because the residual heat helps everything meld together beautifully.
03 -
  • Separate your wings into flats and drumettes before seasoning so they cook uniformly and look intentional on the plate.
  • If you're making these for a crowd, season and bake them ahead, then warm them in a 350°F oven for five minutes before tossing in the garlic butter so everything stays hot and crispy.
