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.

We loved these! Used the convection setting on the oven and they were nice and crispy! Kept the sauce on the side as a dip, so the wings stayed crispy. Tastes just like our local pizza place! Thanks!

P,L, & LC - The "sauce" isn't really a sauce when I made it with freshly shredded Parmesan. It came out more like a buttery blob of shredded cheese that wouldn't coat the chicken pieces. How does it become a sauce??
Drake says
ok to use fresh parm simply exclude it from the recipe pour the butter garlic sause over the cooked wings in a bowl and toss...then spread the wings out in an flat layer touching on parchement paper use your fresh gringer to sprinkle parm evely over it and stick under broiler for about 40 seconds..then voila.

Our favorite Italian restaurant makes these and they are to die for. Of course they fry theirs but after they are tossed in the sauce, they put them back in the salamander to crisp them up even more. We love them so I may try that as an addition to the recipe. One question, are you using the green shaker bottle or freshly grated? Thanks!
