Delicious Garlic Parmesean Wings

Garlic and parmesan - a match made in heaven. Wings are one of the easiest cuts to prep and absorb so much flavor. This recipe uses turkey wings, which are cheaper and meatier than chicken wings, but you could definitely substitute chicken wings! It takes about 15 minutes total to prep,then you pop them in the oven or on the grill, and dinner is served! Ingredients: 2ct turkey wings (mine weighed about a lb each) ¼ cup butter, melted 3 cloves garlic, minced ¼ cup finely grated fresh parmesan Salt and pepper to taste Parsley (optional, but makes a nice and tasty garnish) 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet (necessary to keep the wings off the pan to create airflow, which creates a nice crisp skin - the best part of wings!). 2. Melt your butter over low heat. Then add in your minced garlic and let cook until it is starting to brown and is fragrant. Remove from heat. 3. Pat your wings dry with a paper towel and set on the wire rack. Using a pastry brush, slather your garlic butter all over the wings. Next, sprinkle salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. 4. Place pan on middle rack in oven, and cook for about forty-five minutes to an hour, or until the skin is nice and crispy and the meat comes easily off the bone. 5. Sprinkle the grated parmesan on top of the wings and place back in the oven for a minute to let the cheese melt a bit. 6. Serve with the parsley garnish and whatever sauce you prefer! My favorite to pair these with is a garlic aioli. ~~~~~ I love big, bold flavors, and I love how quick this recipe was to whip up after a day at work. I also like using turkey wings since you don’t need as many to make it a filling meal, and the bonus is they’re cheaper than chicken wings! A great side dish to serve with these is homemade sweet potato fries, which are super easy to make! You can cook them in the oven with the wings, and they’ll both be done around the same time. Great for saving time and making a well rounded, satisfying meal! Cheers! ~Bethany
