Most of the time we enjoy our wings this way and they're so easy to make using less oil and still, have the crispy outside of fried chicken but oven-fried.
I marinade them, then use one of our many styles of 18 chicken wing dipping sauces!
If you have never tried to bake wings, you will be pleasantly surprised just how crunchy and tender these are.
With a little Italian herb and garlic flavor in this terrific easy marinade, these wings will be your next new favorite way to eat them!
To feed my crowd I usually make around 3 pans of baked wings and triple the sauce, the basic recipe is for around 10 wings and our family loves the Parmesan Garlic sauce with butter!

Healthy Baked Wings
There is so much more fat in frying wings but we love wings so baked is delicious too!
This is such a healthy alternative to frying, still has a little bit of fat with the coating. less fat and oh so flavorful.
Of course, if you prefer fried, you can still make these fried, the marinade is fantastic, it keeps them tender and juicy.
Just imagine, crispy baked wings with a crunchy parmesan coating that is just out of this world awesome!
I usually make around 32 wings at a time so double, triple whatever you need to feed your crowd, these go fast believe me!
Other Cooking Methods
- Air Fry: place on oil sprayed aluminum foil in batches of 6 or 8 wings. Heat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 18 minutes, check and continue air frying until desired crispness.

Mmmm, I've baked wings before, and it really is so much easier (and healthier) than deep-frying. I love the sauce you brush on, parmesan and garlic... sounds like a great combo!
ReplyDeleteClaudia, I'm going to wallop all those wings all by myself! haha... They look great. Thanks for sharing & hope you're going to have a great weekend.

I love wings. Period. Love the herbs and flavors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great guest post from your son, with all the yummy sauces!
ReplyDeleteThe baked chicken wings are my favorite. They are so crisp, yet tender, and delicious!
I make my chicken wings the way you do, and just love to make the Buffalo hot sauce to pour over, and have extra for dipping.
I'm not very adventurous with all the other sauces, except the Teriyaki sauce, which is oh, so good on other meats, and veggies!
Claudia, your photos are really looking beautiful!
I'll be doing this one of these Sundays - such a fun treat for a frigid afternoon. Oh I love garlic, cheese and herbs on a chicken wing!
ReplyDeleteI've always had difficulty getting the wings to turn out crispy. I've never turned them more than once (half-way) before, tho. I'm guessing it's more oven time (since you're constantly releasing heat opening the oven), but you're clearly getting the desired results. They look perfect in the photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your method!
Parsley in the first picture looks nice. when you bake it is more healthy than fried ones, nowadays i am trying to do that. This baked Italian chicken wings looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteFantastic recipe! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThese sound amazing. I love wings. Can't wait to try this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love that sauce, and my family would just go nuts for these wings :)
ReplyDeleteThese are packed with flavor Claudia! Succulent and delicious!
ReplyDeletedeliciously flavoured claudia
ReplyDeleteHow smart to bake instead of frying! Yum!
ReplyDeleteAlways prefer baking to frying! Excellent for this time of year with all the football going on :) Thanks for sharing this tasty and easy recipe, Claudia.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, Claudia! Garlic laden chicken wings! I'd eat the whole batch in an Italian second! I can just smell the aroma of your kitchen in my mind when you baked these!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this recipe. Love the sauce, it's so delicious! How can you get the wings nice & crispy? I couldn't seem to perfect that aspect. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Claudia!!! These look so awesome-crispy and golden! Chicken wings are a serious weakness of mine. They can knock me off my diet with just one whiff or glance. Yours look wonderful, so I'm going to send the link to my Mom. She loves them too...
ReplyDeletep.s. Sorry for being away for so long. I went to Key West-it's so wonderful there. Have you been? It makes my part of Florida look like, well, I won't say (smile)!
Wow , these look fantastic. Annette loves wings and I hate to make them as they are usually so unhealthy.
ReplyDeleteFingerlickingly delicious! I love the Parmesan garlic sauce :-)
ReplyDeleteSo yummy! Super easy to make and literally DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteThese chicken wings look amazing! Running to the store to grab everything I need to make them now!
ReplyDeleteI'd devour these wings knowing that they are so much more healthy for us! YUM, Claudia!
ReplyDeleteYour chicken wings are so delightful and thank you for including air fryer directions. I love all of your flavours and these are definitely going on our menu. Thank you :D
ReplyDeleteCan these be put in a crock pot to keep warm after baking them? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe skin will get soggy due to the moisture that the slow cooker omits. If you are making skinless or do not care about the crispy wings, then its fine. I prefer crisp wings on the skin.
DeleteI love this recipe. What a nice change from spicy wings. The garlic and parmesean make it SO good.
ReplyDeleteThey look perfectly crispy! And that parmesan garlic butter sauce sounds awesome. Love that you did it in an air fryer too!
ReplyDeleteWow! These baked chicken wings were so delicious! The flavors were wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love this healthier alternative for chicken wings!! Can't wait to try this soon!
ReplyDeleteThese wings look perfect, crispy and delicious! They will be perfect for summer BBQs.
ReplyDeleteHaving these tonight with spaghetti and garlic bread!
