Lemon Parmesan Chicken Wings with Herby Yogurt Ranch
These crispy wings are tossed in a buttery garlic sauce and served with a fresh, cooling yogurt dip.
recipesbynani.comI love making these wings for summer cookouts or cozy game nights. They have just the right amount of tang from the lemon and a nice salty kick from the parmesan cheese.
You can bake them in the oven or throw them on the grill for a smoky flavor. If you want them extra crispy, make sure to pat the chicken completely dry before you start seasoning.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drums
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees or prepare your grill for medium heat.
- 2
Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
- 3
Toss the wings with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated.
- 4
Place the wings on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack or put them directly onto the grill grates.
- 5
Cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning them over halfway through, until the skin is golden and crispy.
- 6
While the wings are cooking, whisk the yogurt, dill, chives, and onion powder in a small bowl to make the ranch dip.
- 7
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- 8
Toss the hot, cooked wings in the lemon butter sauce until every piece is well coated.
- 9
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the wings and toss once more before serving with the cold yogurt dip.
💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To get them crispy again, reheat the wings in an air fryer or a hot oven rather than using the microwave.
