Cheesy and peppery baked wings cacio e pepe style.
Ingredients
  • 3 lb. organic chicken wings, patted dry, drumettes and flats only, or already prepped party style wings
  • Freshly grated and fluffy Parmigiano Reggiano, 2 cups at least, measure with your heart
  • 2 teaspoons finely ground black pepper
  • course ground pepper for finishing all over, 1 or 2 teaspoons, measure with your heart and to taste
  • 3 -4 tablespoons of melted butter to toss the cooked wings into, the butter helps the cheese to stick
  • granulated garlic
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl or container toss your patted dry wings into it with a drizzle of olive oil, the finely ground black pepper, salt, and a sprinkling of granulated garlic. Toss altogether nicely and marinate over night or an hour or two before.
  2. If using a rack, spray it with olive oil, place on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment.
  3. Arrange the wings single layer on the rack and place into a pre-heated oven at 425, I used convection roast for mine.
  4. After 20 minutes, turn the wings over and do another 20 minutes, but maybe yours will be done sooner or even later, look for a deep golden color, ovens do vary.
  5. When wings are done grab a big bowl, add the melted butter and toss in the cooked wings, coating them all.
  6. Place them onto a big platter and add the cheese all over and the coursely ground pepper, tossing and coating, taste for salt, pepper or more cheese to your liking.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish.
  8. Enjoy!
