Ok, y’all! I have to say, these Roasted Garlic Parmesan Truffled Chicken Wings are legit! I love how the Truffle Powder just elevates them to a new elevated level! In this post, I’ll focus on how to Cook Wings in the oven. Make as many as you would like, yet 12 to a sheet pan.
In my post about Truffled Buffalo Wings made in the AirFryer, I go into how the AirFryer can help crisp Wings. The AirFryer is good for so many things, BUT! It can’t send really more than 6 at a time through the pipeline. My family is too big and my patience level is too small.
How to Make Chicken Wings in the OVEN
The oven is a different beast. So let’s tackle this!
First, Do you have a convection setting on your oven? This setting means that the oven will move air around with a fan on the set amount of heat you tell it to. KEEP IN MIND: it usually decreases in temperature since the blower is on. So I advise cooking at 425 degrees; set it at 450 degrees on the convection setting. Convection ovens vs regular ovens. I have this one.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a convection oven. You can still bake it well without it.
Second, make sure you have all necessary materials like this 👇.
Start with Necessary Materials
#1 Oven (of any type)
#2 Sheet pan with wire rack: This is how the whole chicken gets hot and crispy. I like this at Walmart. There is no need to get anything fancy, but quality is always my first choice.
#3 foil: you’ll want to protect your pan from having to scrub the sheet pan all night. No time for that. Let’s protect it.
#4 Spray Oil like Pam: spray the rack so the wings don’t stick.
#5 2 large mixing bowls (for wings from wet to dry) and a small bowl and fork to mix the Parm mix. You can use ziplock bags in replacement of bowls.
Start by Prepping the Wings
As I discussed in the post about regular Truffled Buffalo Wings, start with drying the meat by rubbing off the juices around the wings and/or drums with paper towels. Then place in a bowl. These wings MUST not be frozen, if they are…start by defrosting them in the microwave or submerging under water.
(IF THEY ARE FROZEN, THE RECIPE COULD TAKE MUCH LONGER TIME) Defrost as soon as you can, then start the recipe.
Once they are dry, prep your garlic bulb, start your oven, and mix up the Garlic Parm wing flavor.
Cooks, start your ovens… and your pans.
Preheat the oven to Bake 425 degrees and convection (if you have it).
Wrap the sheet pans in foil to protect them from drippings that will sizzle and burn (more than likely). Then, spray the racks with Pam oil.
Prep the Garlic for Roasting
Take the top (pointy part) off and place in a small foil wrap, keeping the top exposed.
Douce the garlic bulb in oil and salt. Roast this with the wings with the wing mix.
Prep your Wings
After drying, mix the oil and Cajun mix and coat the wings fully. This is how they get crispy!

Make the Roasted Garlic Parmesean Wing Flavor
You want to only cook the garlic bulb for about 10 minutes. It should be easy to squeeze the cloves out just by pressing them with the side of a knife. I like to lay my bulb on its side, then take the side of my knife and press down. There is something satisfying about it for sure.
Chop up the roasted garlic as fine as you can get it. Place in the medium/small bowl. Add grated Parm, Parsely, truffle powder, onion powder, and pepper. Whisk around to combine and break up any large Parm balls that may occur. Add oil to it, and it is ready for a wing!

Finish up the fully dressed Chicken Wing
Once they leave the oven, let them rest for about 30 seconds to a minute, then toss in the Parmesan Oil mix. Plate and serve immediately.
Don’t forget to tell me how it went!
I want to hear all the details, good, bad, or ugly. Don’t get too ugly, but constructive discussion is just right! Oh! And how was the party?!
I love y’all like I love my wings, crunchy and full of meat 😆.

The Roasted Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings Recipe:
Roasted Garlic Parmesean Truffled Chicken Wings
4
servings30
minutes40
minutesIngredients
12 12 Thawed chicken wings (drums or a combination), dried with a papertowel
2 tbsp 2 cajun seasoning
1/3 cup 1/3 vegetable or canola oil, plus a tablespoon and 2 tbsp, divided
2 bulbs 2 garlic
dash dash salt
1/2 tsp 1/2 truffle powder
2 cups 2 parmesean
2 Tbsp 2 onion powder
1 tsp 1 parsley
1/2 tsp 1/2 pepper
Directions for air fryer
- Put all the ingredients on your workbench, including paper towels, 2 large mixing bowls (or one bowl and one Ziplock), 1 small bowl, a small strip of foil, and your air fryer.
- Wipe all chicken wings down with a paper towel, removing any liquid. If using drums, dry them and keep the skin pulled up. Place in one of the large mixing bowls.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cajun seasoning and oil with a fork. You can add a couple dashes of truffle powder here if you like.
- Pour cajun oil seasoning over the dried wings. Toss wings and/or drums in the oil, covering all the wings completely. (you can use a ziplock bag for this as well, and toss/shake)
- Take the garlic bulb and cut off the top. Wrap foil around it, keeping the top open, and douce with a tbsp of oil and salt.
- Place wings in airfryer (on a rack if it comes with it) making sure no wings are touching each other (probably up to 6 at a time). AIRFRY in Airfyer at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Some need longer, but we are looking for the wing to have crispy edges and the skin to be thin. Put the garlic in foil in the air fryer as well, but only cook it for 10 minutes.
- While waiting for the wings to cook, place one of the large mixing bowls on your workspace and combine truffle powder, parmesan, parsley, onion powder, pepper, and 2 tbsp of oil. Whisk with a fork to combline and get any chunks of parm broken.
- After 10 minutes in the airfryer, take garlic out, let rest. Smash with the side of a knife, and the garlic will slip out of its caverns. Chop finely together and place in the parmesean bowl. Combine well.
- When the wings are done, remove them, let them cool just a bit, and put them in the next batch. While hot, toss the wings in the parmesean mix. Place on a plate and enjoy immediately.
- DIRECTIONS FOR BAKING IN THE OVEN
- Get all ingredients on your workbench, including paper towels, 2 large mixing bowls, 1 small bowl, a small strip of foil, a sheet pan wrapped in foil, and a wire rack in the center. Preheat oven at 425 degrees in the convection setting, if you have it. Otherwise, BAKE setting does well.
- Wipe all chicken wings down with the paper towel, removing any liquid on them. If using drums, dry them and keep skin pulled up. Place in one of the large mixing bowls.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cajun seasoning and oil with a fork. You can add a couple dashes of truffle powder here if you like.
- Pour cajun oil seasoning over the dried wings. Toss wings and/or drums in the oil, covering all the wings completely. (you can use a ziplock bag for this as well, and toss/shake)
- Take the garlic bulb and cut off the top. Wrap foil around it, keeping the top open, and douce with a tbsp of oil and salt. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Wrap foil around a sheet pan and place wire rack in the center. Spray the rack to prevent from sticking with Pam. Put all wings on the rack not letting them touch.
- Bake (on convection setting if you have it) at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes. (See note: if the wings are larger, you may need up to 20 more minutes of additional time to get crispy edges and thin skin.) The Wings will be done when the edges are crispy. Drippings on the pan are normal.
- After 10 minutes, take garlic out, let rest. Smash with the side of a knife and the garlic will slip out of its caverns. Chop finely together and place in a large bowl. Add Parmesean, Parsely, truffle powder, onion powder, pepper, and newly roasted chopped garlic, and 2 tbsp oil. Combine well.
- Take wings out, let them rest for about 30 seconds, and toss in Garlic-Parmesean Truffle mix. Plate and serve immediately.

Notes
- 12 wings typically fit on one sheet pan. If you want to make more, continue with the recipe as directed. The Parm mix may not need to be doubled as it makes enough for 24.
- Watch for crispy edges and thin skin. Depending on the size of your wings, this may take longer in the oven, up to 40 minutes total.
- I would assume most guests will eat from 2 to 4 at a time.
- Leftovers? Try to keep the sauce off unless they are eaten. Otherwise, with or without sauce, they will air-fry best for reheating. Discard after four days in the refrigerator.
- while cooking on the sheet pan, all wings should not be touching. I try to keep 12 to a sheet pan.
