Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wingettes or drumettes, skin on
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) finely grated parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Pat 2 lbs (900 g) of chicken wingettes dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (50 g) finely grated parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon each of chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley, plus salt and black pepper to taste. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if using.
  3. Toss the wings in the flour and parmesan mixture until each piece is evenly coated. Press the coating gently onto the wings for better adhesion.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive or vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking (around 350°F / 175°C).
  5. Place the coated wings in the skillet in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook each side for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crisp, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the minced fresh garlic to the pan and toss wings gently to infuse flavor without burning the garlic.
  7. Transfer wings to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain excess oil and maintain crispiness.
  8. Just before serving, toss the wing bites with a little extra fresh parsley for brightness and color.

Notes

Dry the wings thoroughly before coating to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. For a healthier version, bake at 425°F (220°C) on a wire rack for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway. Watch the garlic closely during the last cooking step to prevent burning. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in a hot oven to maintain crispiness.
