Crispy Baked Garlic Parmesan Wings - So good, you will wish you made a second batch.
Crispy Baked Garlic Parmesan Wings
Yes... crispy and baked in the same sentence. It is in fact possible to have deliciously crispy wings without frying them. These are the real deal! I love, love, love a good crispy chicken wing. Even better when it is a low carb, keto chicken wing recipe.
How to make crispy chicken wings without frying
I am an extra crispy, all flats type of wing girl! How do you like your wings? Contrary to popular belief, not all wing recipes are low carb. In fact, many of the wing recipes in restaurants are not low carb or gluten free. They are typically dredged in some sort of flour before being fried in order to make them retain their crispiness under all the sauce. I felt it was worth mentioning since a lot of people seem to view this as a free food. When you are dining out, ask your server if the wings are gluten free, and this is usually a good indicator that they are also low in carbs, depending on the sauce of course. I mean this more in reference to classic buffalo wings.
