Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 20 fresh chicken drummettes and wings
  • 2 cups Shake-n-Bake original coating mix
  • 2 cups garlicky caesar salad dressing
  • 2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Large plastic bag
  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Place the Shake-n-Bake coating mix in a large plastic bag. Add the chicken wings in batches and shake until each piece is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. If desired, use a wire rack on the sheet for better air circulation.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the wings are golden brown and crispy, with an internal temperature of 165°F. For an extra crispy finish, switch the oven to broil during the last 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  5. Immediately transfer the hot wings to a large bowl and toss with the 2 cups of garlicky caesar dressing until evenly coated.
  6. Sprinkle the 2 cups of freshly grated parmesan cheese over the wings and gently toss again so that the cheese melts slightly from the residual heat.
  7. Serve immediately with extra parmesan on the side if desired.

Notes

These Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings are ideal for any gathering, delivering a perfect balance of crunch, garlic, and cheese in every bite. The recipe is wonderfully simple, relying on just a few quality ingredients that make it both easy and impressive. For variations, you can substitute the Shake-n-Bake with panko breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning or swap the caesar dressing for melted butter mixed with garlic and herbs. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though they are best enjoyed immediately.
