These savory garlic Parmesan chicken wings were just absolutely fantastic. Nutty Parmesan cheese pairs well with earthy garlic. For me, just a little bit of cool Ranch dressing for dipping is all that is required. I want to enjoy the flavor of the wings, so I just dip a bit, if at all. The sauce is mighty finger-licking good. And it’s loaded with garlic, my favorite.
I cooked these garlic Parmesan wings on my Weber charcoal grill using the Vortex, which gives me that great crunchy skin and fantastic grilled flavor without a lot of effort. In fact, just about no effort whatsoever. It takes about 45 minutes for me to get the charcoal in the Vortex good and hot. Then it takes about another 45 minutes to cook the wings. The wings take on a great hint of charcoal flavor to boot, which is a nice change from deep-fried or even air-fried wings.
