Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, divided use
- 2 teaspoons fresh minced parsley
Directions:
- Prepare the Wings:
- Begin by cutting the wings at each joint and discard the wing tips or save them for making stock.
- Fry the Wings:
- Pour vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 4 inches, or alternatively, use a deep fryer. Heat the oil to 350°F.
- Deep-fry the wings in batches for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once the wings start to brown slightly, remove them from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack set over a cookie sheet.
- Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- While the wings are frying, melt the butter in a small pan over medium-low heat. Add the seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in half of the Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Coat the Wings:
- Place the fried wings in a large bowl. Drizzle the garlic Parmesan sauce over them and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve with Garnish:
- Sprinkle the coated wings with the remaining Parmesan cheese and fresh minced parsley before serving.

Ingredients
3 pounds chicken drumettes/wings
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup water
5 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, toss chicken wings with garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
Place water in the Instant Pot, insert the trivet, then arrange the wings on the trivet. Seal the lid and set to high pressure for 6 minutes. It will take about 15 minutes to pressurize.
While the Instant Pot is working, preheat your oven to 525°F (274°C) and position a rack in the middle.
Once cooking is complete, perform a quick release of pressure, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove wings from the Instant Pot and place in a bowl. Combine melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon salt in a small bowl; pour over wings and toss.
Arrange the wings skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes, then switch to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp the skin.
Toss hot wings with Parmesan cheese, remaining salt, and parsley. Serve immediately.
