Ingredients (makes 6 servings)

14-16 chicken wings, cut at joints (~ 1.4 kg/ 3 lbs) - freeze the wingtips for later to make chicken stock or bone broth.
¹/₄ cup butter, melted (57 g/ 2 oz)
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp minced parsley
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (90 g/ 3.2 oz)
Optional: paleo Caesar dressing or Homemade Ranch Dressing, for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230 °C/ 450 °F (conventional), or 210 °C/ 410 °F (fan assisted). Dry the chicken wings by patting them with a paper towel.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat and sear the wings 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer to the oven and bake another 20-30 minutes until golden and crisp. (Tip: For extra crispy chicken wings, follow this oven-baked method using baking powder.)
Add the garlic and butter to the skillet with the wings, stirring so that every wing gets coated in the sauce. Sprinkle in the parmesan and continue to cook just until melted.
Toss with the cooked wings and serve with Caesar dressing.
Serve immediately with the Caesar dressing.

On tne chicken wings (garlic parm) how much is one serving? I can’t find where it says!

Martina @ KetoDiet 5 years ago # Reply

It's 14-16 wings cut in half to get 28-32 pieces in total. Recipe says 6 servings so that will be about 5 pieces per serving.

So I want preface this with you can’t win all of them. I replicated this one and in my opinion, by no means representative of a group, was really bland. The only flavor pop was the Parmesan which was minimal. Maybe cilantro. Still love a bunch of the recipes though.

Thanks for your feedback, Scott! I found that the garlic was quite strong but maybe you used smaller cloves of garlic? You may like some of these:

Do I heat the butter, garlic, and parsley then sprinkle the cheese on top of the chicken after I pour the sauce on?

Thank you for your feedback, Tracey, all has now been clarified in step 4.

Hi. Your instructions aren’t clear. Is the Parmesan cheese part of the sauce or is it sprinkled on when tossing wings.

Thank you for your feedback, Lola, all has now been clarified in step 4.
