Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
- Grater
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 cup blue cheese dressing
- 1-2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F. This high temperature is crucial for achieving crispy wings, so make sure your oven is nice and hot before you start. The goal is to create a perfectly cooked wing that’s both crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, dried rosemary, ground cumin, and kosher salt. This blend of spices will coat the wings and infuse them with amazing flavor.
- Take your chicken wings and lay them out on a baking sheet. Make sure they’re arranged in a single layer for even cooking. Use this spice mixture to season the wings evenly. You want every bite to be packed with flavor!
- Now, it’s time to bake the wings. Pop them in the oven and let them bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they should turn a beautiful golden brown and have crispy skin. This is where the magic happens!
- While the wings bake, prepare the garlic sauce. In a bowl, combine the melted butter, fresh basil, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, and seasoning salt. Mix everything together until well combined. This sauce will give the wings their delicious, garlicky flavor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the blue cheese dressing and Dijon mustard. This tangy sauce will be perfect for dipping and will balance the richness of the wings.
- Once the wings are cooked through, remove them from the oven. They should be sizzling and aromatic! Toss the wings in the garlic sauce until they’re well-coated. The combination of flavors is simply irresistible.
- Finally, serve the wings hot with the blue cheese dressing on the side. You can also add some fresh veggies for crunch if you like. Enjoy your Baked Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings with friends or family, or treat yourself!
