Our Ingredients
When it comes to whipping up a delicious batch of Baked Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings, the star of the show is certainly the ingredients. They work together to create a flavor explosion that will leave your taste buds dancing. Plus, gathering these ingredients is a breeze and shouldn’t feel like a trip to the grocery store is a Herculean task.
Have no fear—let’s dive right into what you’ll need, and before you know it, you’ll be ready to release some serious wing magic in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1×2 inch pieces
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
Now, while we’ve got our list of ingredients, it’s worth noting a few things. For starters, using finely grated Parmesan cheese will make a world of difference. It clings to the chicken much better, giving you that extra crunch—because who doesn’t love crispiness?
And if you’re like me and have a culinary phobia of fresh garlic (I kind of side-eye the whole chopping process), feel free to reach for jarred minced garlic. It’ll save time and heartache.
Oh, and let’s not overlook the panko breadcrumbs. They’re the secret weapon in your crispy wing arsenal. So, whether you’re entertaining guests or just treating yourself to a cozy night in, having these quality ingredients on hand will set you on the path to deliciousness.

Making Baked Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings is a breeze, and trust me, you’re going to love every step of the way. Grab your ingredients, and let’s get down to business—we’ll whip up a batch that’ll have everyone at the table asking for more. Don’t worry if you’re not a culinary genius; these instructions will make you feel like one in no time.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s nice and hot when we’re ready to bake our wings. Trust me, no one wants to start with a lukewarm oven.
- While the oven warms up, take a moment to revel in that delightful aroma of anticipation.
- Prepare the chicken: Grab 2 lbs of boneless chicken breasts and cut them into 1×2 inch pieces, because who likes wings that are too big to handle?
- If slicing chicken feels like a workout, just remember, you’re getting closer to yummy wings.
- Combine the coating: In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs, and ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Make sure everything is evenly coated. Get in there and mix it well—this is where the magic starts. Think of it as giving your chicken a stylish new outfit.
- Arrange the chicken: Lay the coated chicken pieces out on a baking sheet in a single layer. This helps them bake evenly and prevents them from sticking together.
- If you’re feeling fancy, line the baking sheet with parchment paper for even easier cleanup, because who likes scrubbing dishes?
- Bake the wings: Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. You want those wings to be golden brown and crispy—like they just spent a day at a spa.
- Depending on your oven, you might want to check them a little earlier. Remember—don’t open the oven door too often; we need to keep the heat in!
- Make the garlic butter sauce: While the wings are baking, melt ¼ cup of butter in a small saucepan.
- Add in 3 cloves of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Stir it all together over low heat until the garlic is fragrant.
- If you smell it before you see it, you know you’re doing something right.
- Combine and bake again: Once the wings are crispy and smelling fabulous, take them out of the oven (carefully, because they’ll be hot!).
- Toss them in the garlic butter sauce you just made. Get every piece coated—this is where the flavor really comes together.
- Now, pop them back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, so they soak up that deliciousness.
- Serve and enjoy: When the timer goes off, take them out, and behold your masterpiece!
- Let them cool for a minute (if you can resist), then dig in. You’ve made Baked Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings that are crispy, flavorful, and way better than any takeout option.
And there you have it—simple, delicious, and a little bit of a workout. Don’t forget to pair these wings with the right outdoor equipment to enhance your kitchen grill setup. Enjoy your wings, and don’t forget to share (or not, no judgment here).
Tips & Variations
Tips & Variations can really elevate our Baked Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings, ensuring they hit the spot every time.
If you want extra crunch, try mixing some cornmeal with your panko. Trust me, it works wonders.
Got leftover wings? Toss ’em in a spicy buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for a twist.
Feeling adventurous? Experiment with different herbs like thyme or oregano for a flavor boost.
And don’t forget—using finely grated Parmesan instead of the shredded kind helps the coating stick better and adds a delicious crispiness.
Oh, and for those who love a bit of heat, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking can add just the kick you need.
Cooking’s all about experimenting, right?
How to Serve?
Serving up your Baked Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings is a delightful experience, especially when you think about all the flavorful possibilities. I love presenting them on a large platter, garnished with chopped parsley—because who doesn’t enjoy a pop of color?
You can even throw in some freshly grated Parmesan on top for that extra “wow” factor.
I usually serve these wings alongside some zingy dipping sauces like ranch or buffalo sauce, just to keep things interesting. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love options?
Pair them with crunchy veggies like celery and carrots to balance the richness. These bites are perfect for game night, parties, and even a casual weeknight dinner.
Trust me, everyone’ll be coming back for seconds—or thirds.
Storage & Reheating Guide
Even though these Baked Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings are usually devoured faster than I can say “leftovers,” there are times when I find myself with a few pieces still hanging around. If that’s the case, I pop them in an airtight container and store ’em in the fridge for up to three days. When I’m ready to munch again, I preheat my oven to 375°F (190°C), spread them out on a baking sheet, and warm them for about 10-15 minutes until they’re crispy all over again. Trust me, the microwave just doesn’t do ’em justice. If my wings are feeling particularly saucy, I might give them an extra drizzle of garlic butter before reheating. You gotta live a little, right? For added flavor, consider using a herb drying rack to keep your spices fresh and ready to enhance your dishes.
