Baked Garlic Wings


This is a George Stella recipe from his cook book "Real Food, Real Easy". He is one of my very favorite low carb cooks and I would definitely recommend his books. The pictures alone are worth it!


Baked Garlic Wings




Serves 12:

4 pounds chicken wings
2 T. olive oil
2 1/2 T. minced garlic
1 t. garlic powder
1 t salt
1/2 t. black pepper
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese


Preheat oven to 375. (I set it on 350 for mine)

In a large bowl, combine the wings, olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss all the wings in the mixture to coat.

Place the wings on a cookie sheet lined in aluminum foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray so they don't stick. ( I didn't and I was pulling them off the foil)

Bake for one hour or until the skin becomes crispy.

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on the wings while they're still warm and shake them around to evenly coat them.

Serve immediately.

I ate way too many of these last night at dinner. They are so good and I like wings anyway. Another idea is to skip the cheese and use 2 T. of honey and add a pinch of ground cayenne pepper. I want to do that next time. Nature's Hollow makes a low carb honey substitute that I use.

  1. They look delish. We're about due for some wings. I think I have some in the freezer, so maybe this weekend.
