Happy Super Bowl week everyone! Even if you’re not a football fan, I feel like just about everyone is planning on tuning into the game this Sunday. Between the Taylor Swift content and Usher playing at halftime, there’s something for everyone!
Oh, right, and of course, there’s the actual game as well. But to be honest, I’m here for Taylor, and I love a good halftime show too!
And then, there is, of course, the food! The best part of any game day. I always have so much fun with these recipes.

This year, I have some yummy dishes coming your way, but wings are an absolute must. Usually, I serve up traditional buffalo wings, but after making these garlic parmesan wings, I’m now serving both.
These are so delicious and a great option for anyone who doesn’t love the spiciness of buffalo wings!
Here are the details
Step 1: the chicken
Start with the chicken. Cubed raw chicken, breasts, or thighs, or use a mix of the two as I do. Toss the cubed chicken with a mix of seasonings: smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add flour and parmesan, then toss again.
The flour allows the chicken to get crispy in the oven. I love that crispy texture. It’s a small amount, so just a very light coating, but it’s perfect. Not fully bready chicken wings, but breaded enough so that the sauce really sticks nicely to the chicken.
Bake the chicken up in a super hot oven. It takes maybe 20 minutes to cook.
Step 2: the sauce
For the sauce, you need butter, garlic, cream, parmesan, and cayenne. A very simple mix, but delicious.
Simmer this on the stove for a few minutes to bring everything together into a delicious cream sauce. Nothing fancy to it!
Step 3: coat the chicken in sauce
Pour the sauce over the baked, crispy chicken as soon as it comes out of the oven. The heat helps the sauce really adhere to the chicken.
The coating soaks up all the sauce. It’s going to leave you saying, YUM!
I always finish with extra parmesan cheese, parsley, and black pepper.
For serving, these are so yummy with home-baked french fries and extra parmesan sauce. Or serve over rice with a side of broccoli and make these wings into a dinner!
Perfect for everyone in the family!

So delicious! This will definitely become part of our regular recipe rotation, so much flavour and yet so simple.
I roasted delicata squash in the air fryer while this was in the oven and the garlic parmesan sauce was also amazing with it too.
Thank you Tieghan, another amazing recipe!
Hey Tracey,
Wonderful! I appreciate you trying this recipe and your feedback, so glad to hear it was enjoyed!
Have a great weekend!
I did this last night for 9 of us as I was hosting and it was a winner with everyone – thank you!
Hey Joanne,
Wonderful! I appreciate you trying this recipe and your feedback, so glad to hear it was enjoyed!
Have a great weekend!
Looks delicious! Can you cook the chicken in an air fryer?
Thanks so much, Heidi! Totally, that would work nicely for you!
Make it often. Always yum!
Hey Stephanie,
Happy Sunday! Thanks so much for making this recipe, love to hear it turned out well for you!
I was wondering if you bake the chicken directly on the baking sheet, or do you use the wire rack that was listed in your kitchen supplies? The video and directions do not mention the wire rack, but I wonder if it would make it more crisp…
Hey Dani,
You could totally use a wire rack, that will work nicely for you!
I hope you love this recipe, please let me know if you give it a try!
A wonderful quick dinner for busy week nights 🙂 also, dipping fries in the extra garlic parm sauce… so amazing!
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback after trying this recipe, I’m happy to hear it was a win! Have the best weekend:)
Can I do this recipe with regular wings on the bone as well?
Hey Sima,
You bet, that should work nicely for you! You will probably need to increase your bake time slightly. I hope you love this recipe! xx
This is delicious, fast, and easy! We have this on the repeat. We always use thighs and they are so flavorful and crispy, yet not dry. And the sauce….I could literally drink it! I serve this with Basmati rice which goes so well with the sauce. I’m going to start serving this sauce over rice as a side dish to many meals, not just this one. “Garlic-Parmesan Rice!” I do recommend waiting to make the sauce until you are ready to serve as it doesn’t reheat well. If we have leftover chicken I always make a fresh batch of the sauce for leftover night. This dish turns out perfectly every time. Thank you, Tieghan!!! This is yet another gem!
Hey Lisa! Wow thank you so much for all this input! This is so helpful! Thanks for giving the recipe a try, have an amazing Friday! xT
Excellent recipe. I did it in batches in the air fryer for 15 minutes, Ann’s they turned out perfect. I was conservative with the salt in my first batch because I went heavier with the parmesan, so it was a little bland. Added more salt and all subsequent batches were perfect. For how easy this was I’ll definitely be making it regularly.
Thanks so much, Christian! Love to hear this recipe turned out well for you. I appreciate you making it! Have a great weekend! xx
Hi! Wondering what temp you used for the air fryer.
This was really delicious! Mine didn’t turn out as red as yours, I’m not sure what happened. However, this was a great dish.
Hi Sarah,
Wonderful! Thank you so much for making this recipe and your comment, so glad it was a winner! Have the best weekend:)
This looks so good! Is the chicken skinless as well?
Thanks so much, Christy! Yes, I like to use boneless, skinless chicken for this recipe. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
These were so good and so easy to make. I ask roasted cauliflower and put the cheese sauce on that as well!
Hey Karen,
Happy Sunday! Thanks a bunch for making this recipe, love to hear it turned out nicely for you! xx
