Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (907 grams) chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
- 1 cup (100 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tbsp parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 425F (220C) or heat deep fryer to 350F (175C). Line baking sheet with foil and position wire rack for optimal air circulation.
- Wing Conditioning: Pat chicken wings completely dry to ensure maximum crispiness and even seasoning absorption using paper towels.
- Flavor Infusion: Blend olive oil with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl to create an aromatic spice marinade.
- Coating Process: Thoroughly coat each wing in the seasoning mixture, ensuring complete and uniform coverage with the spice blend.
- Cooking Method: For oven technique, arrange wings in a single layer on prepared rack, allowing strategic air flow for ultimate crispiness. If deep-frying, carefully submerge wings in small batches to maintain consistent oil temperature and prevent overcrowding.
- Roasting/Frying Stage: Bake wings for 40-45 minutes, flipping midway for even browning, or deep-fry for 8-10 minutes until achieving a golden-brown exterior with fully cooked interior.
- Finishing Touch: Transfer wings to paper towels to absorb excess oil, preserving their crisp texture and allowing brief resting period.
- Serving Recommendation: Present wings immediately while piping hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs or additional seasoning for enhanced flavor profile.
Notes
- Crisp Technique: Pat wings completely dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent soggy exterior.
- Temperature Control: Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal wing temperature reaches 165F (74C) for safe consumption, preventing undercooked chicken.
- Seasoning Layering: Massage spice blend thoroughly into wings before cooking to enhance flavor penetration and create a more intense taste profile.
- Oil Management: When deep-frying, maintain consistent oil temperature around 350F (175C) and avoid overcrowding to ensure even, golden-brown wings without greasy texture.
