Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings
These have some pretty nice color on them
Time: 45 minutes
Ingredient Availability: 5/5
Difficulty: 1/5
Garlic Parmesan wings just might be my favorite flavor to get on chicken wings. This recipe looked pretty good despite being ‘boneless wings’ (which isn’t really a thing in my book). It seemed simple and I thought it might be a quick and easy weeknight dinner from Half Baked Harvest.
Key Ingredients & Omissions:
The only notable thing I changed in this recipe is that I used Pecorino Romano cheese instead of Parmigiano Reggiano because I already had some of the former. These cheeses are pretty similar, so I don’t think most people would be able to tell the difference. Other than that, the ingredients are pretty simple and easy to find. Oh, and I didn’t make the sauce that goes with this recipe.

Cooking Review:
Prep: 12 minutes
Because I used bone in chicken thighs to save a couple dollars, I had to spend some time removing the bones from the chicken before chopping the chicken up. I also grated the cheese in this step.
Coat Chicken: 9 minutes
I put the chicken in a bowl and added the seasonings and tossed the chicken to coat. The flour and cheese were added next and tossed to coat. Finally, the olive oil was added to the chicken and tossed.
Baking: 17 minutes
I baked the chicken at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 17 minutes. At that point, the chicken was done.
Analysis:
The flavor that immediately hit me was the smoked paprika. Now, I don’t dislike smoked paprika, but it’s not really what I expected in a garlic parmesan chicken. Other than that, the chicken was pretty well seasoned and certainly wasn’t bland. Some of the skin pieced of the chicken crisped up nicely to add some textural contract. I’m thinking that maybe the sauce that I didn’t make would’ve provided more of the garlic parmesan flavor, so perhaps it’s just because I did half of the recipe that I’m not getting what I expected. With that in mind, I’m going to give this recipe a 7/10. No matter how I look at it, the chicken still tasted pretty good. If I was just given it and wasn’t told it was supposed to be garlic parm, I wouldn't be upset at all.
