Garlic Parmesan Wings Ingredients
Most of these ingredients are pantry friendly except the chicken wings, of course!
Chicken Wings – Make sure you have them cut into the drums and flats. You can either buy them this way, cut them yourself or have your local butcher cut them into drums and flats for you.
Roasted Garlic Olive Oil – I love having this stuff around! It adds a terrific garlic flavor to anything you would use regular olive oil for. However, if you don’t have a bottle of roasted garlic olive oil you can use regular extra virgin olive oil.
Seasonings – Salt, Pepper, and red pepper flakes, for a bit of heat!
Parmesan Cheese – Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is essential in this recipe! You can find blocks of Parmesan cheese in the deli section of your local grocery store.
Garlic – You can’t make Parmesan garlic wings without a few or more cloves of garlic!
Butter – One of the secret to fabulous tasting chicken wings is always butter!

How to Make Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Wings
These take about an hour to make but most of it is hands off baking time!
Grab all of your ingredients and pre-heat the oven to 400° F (200°C).
Line a large cookie sheet with a metal rack and spray with non-stick cooking spray for easy clean-up. I love using my bacon pan for this!
If you haven’t be sure to cut your wings into drums and flats, then toss them in a large mixing bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the wings on the prepared metal rack and bake at 400°F for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are cooking, prepare the sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and the red pepper flakes.
Once the wings are done, toss them with the garlic Parmesan wing sauce.
Serve your copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan wings sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and dressing of your choice for dipping! Enjoy!
Storage and Reheating
- These garlic Parmesan wings are best served right after adding the sauce, while the skin is still crisp.
- Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
- Reheat them in the oven or air fryer until hot and crisp.
- The microwave works in a pinch, but the wings will be softer.
Tips for Crispy Baked Wings
- Leave space between the wings so hot air can circulate.
- Keep them elevated on the wire rack so the bottoms do not sit in rendered fat.
- Do not add the sauce until the wings are fully baked, because coating them early will soften the skin.
