Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Wings

MarthaStewartWanabe's Note:

This buttery garlic-parmesan sauce is so simple and tastes sinfully delicious. A friend baked plain chicken wings for her Super Bowl party but realized at the last minute that she didn't have Tabasco sauce on hand to make Buffalo sauce. She called in a panic, and this is the sauce I advised. All her party guests raved about it. It is reminiscent of a wing sauce that a now-closed restaurant in Hornell, N.Y., called Grady's used to make. Some reviewers have stated these wings are as good as or better than Wingstop. We don't have a Wingstop near where we live, so I'll take their word for it!

We loved this! The only thing I'd do differently is decrease the amount of butter to 1/4 cup. Even with 25 wings, 1/2 cup was just way too much.

My husband baked the wings and then put them in the sauce. It was amazing!! He was trying to match wingstop and ended up with much better tasting wings.

This was exactly what I was looking for. A local wing place serves these, and I wanted to make some for my superbowl party but wasn't sure how much garlic to use. I followed another poster's advice and cut down the amount of butter, and I didn't measure the parmesan but am quite sure I used more than half a cup of freshly grated cheese. The flavor was spot on, these were the first items devoured, and I'll definitely be making them again!
