Crispy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

Lately, we had multiple movie nights as the pouring season never seems to end and it’s starting to feel very chill around here. Instead of regular snacks like popcorn or chips, I like to have some better alternatives. Finger food is my go-to snacks and this crispy garlic parmesan chicken wings is one of them.

Juicy, tender and yet, crispy and very flavorful. What more can I ask? This garlic parmesan chicken wings are great for everyone in the family. It is not spicy at all, so the kids can enjoy it as well. Pair the wings with some French fries, mashed potato or fluffy steam rice and voila, it’s a complete meal for the kids. For the spicy-lover like me, I can always dip the chicken wings with hot sauce or sriracha. It’s a win-win for everyone, right?

Tip: You can replace the minced garlic with garlic powder for the coating. I like it better with fresh garlic as I can feel that it is more aromatic, and the flavor is stronger.
