Overview
Crispy Garlic Parm Chicken Wings are a must-try for any football fan or wing lover. The recipe begins with a buttermilk brine, which not only adds flavor but also tenderizes the chicken, ensuring each bite is juicy and satisfying. The addition of habanero hot sauce gives a nice kick, but it can be omitted for those who prefer milder wings.
The garlic parmesan sauce is where the magic happens. Combining melted butter, grated parmesan, and garlic, this sauce coats the wings perfectly, enhancing their flavor profile. The recipe also includes a blue cheese dressing that complements the wings beautifully, with a balance of creaminess and tang.

Whether you’re hosting a game day party or just craving a delicious snack, these wings are sure to be a hit. Serve them with the homemade blue cheese dressing for an extra touch of flavor, and watch them disappear in no time!
