Keto Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings (Print Version)

Golden crispy wings coated in buttery garlic Parmesan for a satisfying low-carb meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken Wings

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

→ Garlic Parmesan Butter

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

# Steps to Follow:

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

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They're impossibly crispy without deep frying, which means less oil splatter and a cleaner kitchen.
  • The garlic Parmesan butter coats every crevice with umami richness that tastes indulgent but fits perfectly into keto eating.
  • Forty-five minutes of mostly hands-off time means you can prep other things or just sit down while they transform.
02 -
  • Patting the wings completely dry is non-negotiable if you want crispiness; even a little moisture will steam them instead of crisping them.
  • Tossing the wings in the garlic butter immediately after they come out of the oven makes all the difference because the heat helps the coating stick and meld.
03 -
  • Mince your garlic fine enough that it disperses evenly through the butter rather than creating little chunks that will burn in the residual oven heat.
  • If you find your wings are browning too quickly, lower the oven temperature to 400°F and add five more minutes to the cooking time rather than fighting against your oven's personality.
