Toss and Serve: Add the baked crispy wings to the sauce and toss until completely coated. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and serve with your choice of dressing.

Variations

If you’re looking to change things up a bit, try adding some fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the sauce for an extra burst of flavor. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as Romano or Asiago, to switch up the taste.

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the mix.

Storage

To store any leftovers, place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days.

To reheat, preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the wings for about 10-15 minutes until they’re heated through and crispy again. You can also reheat in the air fryer. Avoid using the microwave as it can make the wings soggy.
