Make extremely crispy, low-carb chicken wings using a Parmesan cheese crust. This recipe avoids flour and breadcrumbs for a perfect keto-friendly crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack set over a baking sheet for better air circulation.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for crispiness.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  4. Place the dried wings in a large bowl. Drizzle with the avocado oil or melted butter and toss to coat lightly.
  5. Add the Parmesan mixture to the wings. Toss well until every piece is thoroughly coated with the cheese mixture. Press the coating onto the wings if necessary.
  6. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or rack, ensuring they do not touch.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Flip the wings over. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown and very crispy.
  9. For extra crispiness, you can switch the oven to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  10. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For air frying, cook at 380°F (195°C) for 18-22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Use finely grated, dry Parmesan cheese for the best coating adhesion and crispness.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; cook in batches if needed to maintain crispness.
