Garlic Parmesan Wings bring together the punch of garlic, the creamy nuttiness of Parmesan and the radiance of well-cooked chicken wings. Although it's a straightforward recipe, there are some common areas where people may experience difficulties. One of the most common questions revolves around the ideal cooking method: frying vs. baking. Frying gives a crispier, more indulgent taste, while baking is a healthier option, but may result in lest crispy wings.
Another issue some people face is getting the garlic-Parmesan coating to stick to the wings. This can be solved by making sure the wings are well-dried before you apply the sauce and allowing them to sit for a few minutes before serving.
As much as possible, use fresh garlic and grated Parmesan cheese to get the best taste. You might be tempted to use pre-grated Parmesan or garlic powder, but these won't impart as much flavor. The butter in the sauce also plays a major role, using high quality butter can make a noticeable difference.
A final trick is to serve the wings hot. This seems obvious, but it has big implications on the texture and flavor release of the wings.
