Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Position the rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the wings and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings on the wire rack spaced apart so they are not touching. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through at about 20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  4. While the wings bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Transfer the baked wings to a large bowl. Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until each piece is evenly coated.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the ranch dip. Chill until ready to serve.
  7. Serve the wings immediately with the ranch dip on the side. Garnish with extra parsley or Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid off-flavors. Pat wings dry thoroughly for best crispiness. Toss wings immediately in hot garlic Parmesan sauce to ensure cheese sticks well. Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end if extra crispiness is desired. Leftovers reheat best in the oven on a wire rack to maintain crispiness. For dairy-free version, substitute vegan butter and dairy-free Parmesan alternatives, and use dairy-free mayo and sour cream for the ranch dip.
