Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Coat the chicken: In a large bowl, toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with olive oil until well coated. In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly so each piece is evenly coated.
- Bake the chicken: Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the garlic parmesan sauce: While the chicken bakes, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned. Reduce the heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and optionally stir in chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
- Toss the chicken in sauce: When the chicken pieces are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the prepared garlic parmesan sauce over the chicken and toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Serve immediately: Serve the baked garlic parmesan boneless wings hot, optionally garnished with additional parsley or parmesan cheese. Enjoy as an appetizer, snack, or main dish alongside your favorite sides.
Notes
- Double the sauce if you prefer extra flavor coating on your wings.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated for better texture and taste.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to keep the coating crispy.
- Add red pepper flakes or cayenne to the sauce for a spicy kick.
- You can prepare the chicken and sauce ahead and refrigerate separately, then bake and combine when ready.
