Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 g)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, to lightly coat the baking sheet
  • For the Ranch Dip:
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill or fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or buttermilk, to thin as preferred

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  4. Place wings in a large bowl and toss with the garlic parmesan mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping wings halfway through (around 20 minutes), until golden brown and crispy with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. While wings bake, prepare the ranch dip by mixing sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dill, chives, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Add milk or buttermilk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  8. Remove wings from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Serve wings hot with the creamy ranch dip on the side. Optionally garnish with extra Parmesan or chopped parsley.

Notes

Patting the wings dry before seasoning is crucial for crispiness. Using a wire rack allows air circulation for even cooking. Flipping wings halfway through baking promotes even browning. For extra crispiness, broil wings for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning. The ranch dip can be chilled before serving for better flavor contrast. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven to maintain crispiness.
