How To Make Garlic Parmesan Wings

Start by patting your chicken dry with a clean paper towel. Then drizzle them with a high quality olive oil and some salt and pepper and toss to coat. This will help you to achieve perfectly crispy skin during the cooking process.

To prep your outdoor grill, make sure that the grill grates are clean and the grill is preheated to 400-450°F.  Once your grill is heated, place your flat wings on direct heat for a total of 8-12 minutes or 12-16 minutes for drummies, flipping halfway. You’ll know when they’re getting close when they reach a gorgeous golden brown color, but always be sure to double check with an internal meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature is at 165°F before removing them from the grill.

How To Make Garlic Parmesan Sauce For Wings

While your chicken is cooking, you can focus on whipping up some simple homemade garlic butter sauce!  Gather all of your ingredients for easy assembly. 

Start by melting your butter in a small sauce pan over medium-low heat.  Then remove the melted butter from the heat and add the remaining sauce ingredients and stir to combine.

Once your chicken is fully cooked, carefully remove them from the grill and into a medium sized bowl.  You can either dump all of that delicious sauce over the wings or serve it in a small bowl to be used as a dipping sauce. Either way, your chicken will be slathered in the best tasting sauce.

Transfer wings to a serving platter lined with parchment paper for serving. And be sure to top them with additional fresh parmesan cheese, pepper, and parsley for that finishing touch.
