Katie'S Chicken Wings
Crispy baked chicken wings coated with a flavorful Parmesan and parsley crust, perfect for parties or casual gatherings, offering a savory, crunchy bite every time.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and dry chicken wings; disjoint and discard wing tip ends.
- Combine and mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Dip wings in melted butter mixed with garlic salt, then roll in the crumb mixture.
- Place the coated wings in a lightly greased jelly roll pan.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 450°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra crunch, consider double-breading the wings by dipping them in the melted butter and crumb mixture twice. You can substitute the bread crumbs with crushed cornflakes for a gluten-free option. If you prefer a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the melted butter. For a more aromatic flavor, fresh parsley can be used instead of dried parsley.
Serving Suggestions
These chicken wings are perfect for game day or as an appetizer for gatherings. Serve them alongside Lovetta'S Potatoes for a hearty meal, or pair with a fresh salad and dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese. They also make a delightful snack for movie nights.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the wings for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy again. Alternatively, you can use an air fryer for quicker reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make these wings spicier?
To add some heat, mix in cayenne pepper or your favorite hot sauce into the melted butter. You can also coat the wings with a spicy seasoning blend before baking, or serve them with a spicy dipping sauce for an extra kick.
What can I serve with chicken wings?
Chicken wings pair wonderfully with a variety of sides. Consider serving them with celery and carrot sticks, alongside ranch or blue cheese dressing. They also go well with a side of Easy Orzo Side Dish or even a light coleslaw to balance the richness of the wings.
